Lib Dems back rise in capital gains tax for wealthiest earners

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

56% : Daisy Cooper, Lib Dem deputy leader, said the party's plan to improve health and care provision in the UK is "going to require an additional £9bn per year and we're going to get that money by taxing the big banks and billionaires".
50% : The Liberal Democrats have put forward a policy to increase taxation paid on capital gains for the wealthiest earners in order to raise £5bn for the NHS, as the party seeks to put forward a bolder plan for tax and spending than Labour.
49% : The capital gains policy comes on top of £4bn the party has previously said it would raise by reversing tax breaks given to banks over recent years.
