Would you pay more tax for better public services? Commentators @ckarkkent and @JeffreyPeel clash

Are you prepared to pay more for better public services? The Scottish Labour Party has proposed a 1p income tax rise in Scotland. Also this week, economist John Simpson proposed an increase in bus and rail fares in N Ireland. Would you accept that, if it meant improvements? Would you happily fork out more in rates or tax for better hospitals, schools and roads? Commentators Brian Pelan and Jeffrey Peel
