Road Pricing

Maybe I've got this democracy business muddled up, but didn't we just have a general election. Now, the Government is planning a radical new policy, getting rid of fuel duty, and introducing road pricing instead.

There are arguments to be made for this (weak, but arguments all the same). But couldn't they have at least mentioned it last month, and allowed people to vote on it at the polls.

Or maybe that isn't how New Labour thinks things should work.
