Should the government try and simplify the tax system.

One of the more successful political phrases from the Blair years was the mantra "Education, education, education."

I've just been left totally exasperated by the latest tweaks to the ISA rules. I'm wondering if adopting a mantra of "Simplify, simplify, simplify" would be popular.

Could they gain some political capital even from potential financial losers?
