Adams Smith Institute Blog
The Adam Smith Institute is Britain’s leading innovator of free-market economic and social policies. Since 1977, it has played a key role in developing practical initiatives to inject choice and competition into public services, extend personal freedom, reduce taxes, prune back regulation, and cut government waste.
The Institute develops and spreads these ideas through its research, reports, seminars, briefings for politicians and journalists; through its website and weblog; and through media pieces in the newspapers and on radio and TV.

Tax Payers Alliance Blog
The TaxPayers' Alliance is Britain's independent grassroots campaign for lower taxes. After years of being ignored by politicians of all parties, the TPA is committed to forcing politicians to listen to ordinary taxpayers.
Taxes keep on rising but there is very little improvement in the quality of schools, hospitals and transport provided by government. Most recently, British workers, employers, consumers, homeowners and pensioners have been hit by higher national insurance contributions, huge council tax increases and higher taxes on pension funds.
The government is riddled with waste and inefficiency at a time when the rest of the country is being forced to tighten their belts as the economy falters and life becomes more expensive. High taxes are damaging the British economy and our way of life is suffering as a result: economic growth is being throttled and tens of thousands of jobs are being lost as huge tax bills reduce incentives to work, invest and save and discourage entrepreneurship.
The TPA does not advocate turning our backs on those who cannot fend for themselves - but we believe that there is also a strong moral case for allowing taxpayers to keep a greater share of their income.
