What would you increase tax on instead? Food, goods, fuel, smoking, income tax, council tax? Nobody likes tax, but it is necessary for society to function in a civilised manner.
Motorists are predominantly people who can afford to be taxed. Yes, some people will suffer unfairly, but that happens with absolutely everything. Honestly, I think the systems in the UK work pretty well, certainly compared to many countries. Despite the recession, the Pound is strong, the country is afloat and functioning. Things could be so much worse.
In regards to fox hunting; it does indeed seem ludicrous that people who know very little about a subject are able to vote on it, but then again that is democracy. But foxes are still able to be hunted; just not with dogs. And I don't know about where you live, but where I grew up, people who have guns, like my dad, are very, very good at catching foxes, rabbits, always first time, without suffering.
People moan about lots of things. People moan about RYL. People want things to be perfect; that's not life. Life isn't fair, or easy. But you know, this is probably the best country in the world to live in, and I for one am pretty happy about the way things work.
