There needs to be a party that is unashamedly pro-motor. Pro-petrol, diesel, turbo-charged freedom for the ordinary person. Damn those who would tax all but the rich off the roads. Same people who'd have ten workers in London living in one room. This isn't green, it's feudal.

The issue u are missing is that manufacturers Won’t be producing petrol by 2030 as they will be uneconomic... - govt doesn’t really need to set this target as the market will do it for them

That was my thought thinking the ban is purely PR. That being said... who’s to stop you importing a combustion engine car? The fuel stations will still trade for many years thereafter. You could by a new car 2029, and run it for 20 years... which is probably what I’ll do.

You won’t if an electric car is a lot cheaper to run - which it will be by the mid 2020s

By that logic, everyone would drive the cheapest to buy, cheapest to run, vehicle out there. It’s like fashion - some go for utilitarian brandless clothing, others spend £200 on a t shirt. it’s not about showing off. Not my style. But I like a nice car (to my mind)

People on low wages do drive the cheapest car, with the best mileage. That's exactly what they do.

Are you arguing for electric cars or not? I’m confused now. By the way, the cheapest cars aren’t the ones with the best mileage. That’s why I think the government was right to freeze fuel duty the last decade.

Let people drive what they wish without rich snobs twisting their arms after taking their vote. Dont price people out. Dont screw people of their incomes through fetishes to keep a young girlfriend happy.
