Petition Raise Proposed £60,000 child benefit threshold

More details

Regional variations to salaries mean a £60,000 child benefit threshold will proportionally and detrimentally affect middle class young professionals starting families. These families will be statistically degree educated and the very individuals our government is turning to resolve the country's economics.

This is an arbitary level aimed at voter appeasement for lower income voters than either a regional weighting or alignment with income taxation levels and consistency for hard working, young and growing families.

At its base level, this is cyncial politics and mis-representing the electorate.
