The problem is that it'd mean lost revenue, which would have to be covered

gone up by some degree under Boris, and it wouldn't be accepted for them to
jump significantly further even if it were to provide for free transfers.
IIRC it's one of the things that Paddick is proposing. His gang's most
recent missive to party members (I am one) claimed to have fully costed
all of their policies. But when I asked to see their working, all I
heard back was (and I paraphrase) "they're fully costed" with none of
the details I asked for.
Needless to say, I won't be voting for him.
For all I know they really could have figured out how to do it, and they
might even have figured out how to do it without unacceptably raising
prices elsewhere, but I won't believe it until I see the details.
