The danger off drawing conclusions from polling; 

the example of the #inheritancetax debate.

A simple Q. produces one sort of response, a more nuanced Q. something a little different;

it comes down to whether the Q. is framed as a general issue of being able to pass on wealth to the following generation tax-free, or accepting that it will be taxed & asking by how much;

the former makes it seem people do not want #IHT, but the latter reveals a desire for fairness & taxation of inheritance.

I also notice neither of these asks what a reasonable tax RATE would be.

That's the question that would be in my mind. I mean, if it's, say, 1%, why not tax even small inheritances?

But if it's 90%, that's a very different story!
