MP states the obvious that they have been too scred to say before
I would say that 4 is too many though. Make it 2, as we can't sustain the population that we already have!

Whether it's a good idea or not, I wonder why she didn't suggest doing away with Child Benefit altogether. I'm sure it wasn't because that includes people who might vote for her.
Another MP getting their face in the paper.
I like the fact that she specifically mentions having more children whilst on benefits. Makes it seem a touch more thought out.Another MP getting their face in the paper.

It's an interesting question though, to what extent the state can determine your behaviour while it supports you.

I wonder how much my pay would go up for every kid I had...
Back in the day you used to get a married man’s tax allowance which meant you take home pay went up – this reflected two things 1) the man was often the only breadwinner and 2) once you were married it was presumed you would soon have kids to provide for. This allowance was replaced by one which only kicked once you had kids (as more people were having kids out of wedlock) and that was then superseded by the Child Tax Credit.steviegunn said:

Personally I'm fed up with family break-up, fathers dumping one set of kids on the state and setting off to have more kids with someone else. Fix it at 2, and that's your lot!
1 per adult then that would make custody following divorce more interesting.I assume I can say that

2 adults make children. So 2 children needed to replace those 2 adults. Use tax funds to support 2 kids for every couple or woman. Make it logical instead of emotional.
If families never break up and people only ever have children with one partner. bobbylondonuk said:
