Next Episode: Agenda 24.04.23 - is the constitution holding us back or do you think "if it ain’t broke don’t fix it"?

Is vehicle duty really a tax to pay for road improvements or just another stealth tax, and are the significant electricity price hikes justifiable or should government be doing more to help?
