They have to collect taxes.

But higher oil/fuel prices = more money (increase in Tax revenue)

More cars on the road = more road tax, more petrol used = more money.

What about ALL the people who don't pay road tax?? Now they have an even bigger excuse not to.

The extra money is not going to offset carbon emissions is it?

I think you hit the nail on the head there. What makes you think that any other government will be any different??? There is a reason why Labour were voted in, in the first place.
