Fun Online Polls: Lib Dem and Labour crackpot ideas

The results in last week's Fun Online Poll were as follows:

Which are your favourite Lib Dem crackpot ideas of the week?
Use your pension fund as a mortgage deposit: 75 votes
Vince Cable to lead the Lib Dems into a coalition with Labour: 26 votes
The Business Bank: 26 votes
Wealth taxes instead of LVT: 18 votes
Other, please specify: 7 votes


So Nick's pensions-for-homes idea pretty much swept the board there.
------------------------------------
Ed Balls is set to open the Labour Conference with an even better plan:

The billions of pounds raised from the sale of 4G mobile licences will be used to help young people get on the property ladder, shadow chancellor Ed Balls will pledge.

It will provide £500 million to spare first-timers paying stamp duty on properties worth up to £250,000. The rest of the cash – another £2.5 billion – will be spent on building 100,000 more affordable homes.


So a strong start there! The Labour conference runs until Thursday, so please leave your nominations for "Most moronic policy suggestion from the Labour Party conference" in the widget in the sidebar, I can then sort our the official poll, and then the week after that we can do "Most twattish ideas from the Conservative Party conference".
