Is opposing a VAT a far right position?

[DC Al Fine]

Err, the people most against the GST's in Australia, Canada and India were (or are) the left. And typically the left campaign on lowering or narrowing the range of the vat in countries where it exists. Weird statement.

Eh, the last people to cut our federal VAT were Tories and the last government to raise the provincial one was NDP. Most of my memories of VAT cuts are being lectured by centre leftists about how cutting GST was irresponsible.
