Ha! Though I wonder what your view would be on abolishing SDLT and replacing it with an annual property tax. Less to increase the overall rate of taxation (though I'm sure they'll try) but to remove the friction in the market and related negative externalities.
Lower SDLT / increased volume turnover / increased related expenditure / more tax revenue.
