RIVAL parties which support local income tax have given the Scottish Socialists' plans for a public service tax short shrift, but even they sat up and took notice yesterday at figures showing that voters are overwhelmingly supportive of reform of the current council tax.
Tommy Sheridan, convener of the SSP, hailed the results of the opinion poll yesterday, saying: "The poll clearly confirms the growing opposition to the unfair Tory council tax and the demand for an income-based alternative.
"It is an enormous boost to the Scrap the council tax campaign."
