Rejected petition Stop minimum pricing of alcohol
More details
Stop the introduction of minmum pricing of alcohol.
The proposed legislation punishes the law abiding majority of responsible drinkers for the actions of the minority. It is undemocratic to punish the many because of actions of the few, and will be used as a stealth tax by the government, or as a way of boosting the supermarket's already huge profits.
