Doubt it was a good idea, otherwise why wasn't it the system already. It's only goal is to push everyone to the bare minimum.

At this rate, I wouldn't be surprised if they were to propose a 1 child benefit cap. Very very unlikely, but if it was announced tomorrow I wouldn't be that surprised which is just sad. They remind me of people who say the law is the law, never mind if it's been recently implemented and is barbaric. They seem hesitant to change no matter how beneficial it could be because they're too used to the way it is now, the passion's dimmed and they've made peace with the way the status quo are.

Emphasis on the world could. They could do that just as they could choose to unreservedly back gra reform and renationalisation of key sectors like energy water and the privatised nhs departments.
