Bloggers4Labour

Bloggers4Labour is asking if we shouldn't give education vouchers a try. I can't help but think of the old Churchill quote:

You can rely on the Americans to do the right thing, after they have exhausted every other option.

Perhaps it's going too far to suggest that one can rely on Labour to do the right thing eventually, but I'm pleased that B4L is brave enough to ask the question. Not sure he's in the right party to get any action on this though.

Tax credit system would be better because Labour would be guaranteed to regulate vouchers to extinction. Without deregulation vouchers would be no better than the current system.

Thanks for the link Kit. This is a new idea for me, and I'll study it with interest.
