Coalition Coalescence

As things settle down at Westminster after the election, it is time to ask what a Liberal/Conservative coalition government means for the future of the TV Licence?

If the current government lasts, and this is obviously a big question, we think it is unlikely to make radical moves on this front. Although the Conservatives might favour reform or even abolition of the TV Licence, this is something that the Liberals are unlikely to agree to. The most likely outcome is that the TV Licence will endure but that any rises in the fee will be very limited.

This may well be fertile ground for a campaign to persuade people against buying a licence. If reform will not happen by political means it can still happen if people vote with their cheque books. We remain in business.
