On the one hand, which actually played out, denying this measure to provide tax breaks to married couples gets rid of the current political issue of what is a married couple and whether 2 men or 2 women may be a married pair. Finally, this budget decision could result in equality among pairs and lonely people.
However, there is a lot more to be considered here. Osborne is a conservative and this decision is very much a liberal one. So, Osborne just made a major political mistake. Additionally, most people will, at some point, be married and given the fact that England has been dwindling behind other countries recently supporting marriage may be something they should look into to possibly boost the number of births and thereby, the scale of the country. Finally, all other European countries have similar budget appropriations in terms of taxes to aid married couples and failing to join the other countries can be seen as a failure to proceed and progress.
In the end I think that Osborne really goofed. Politicians should generally never agree with their enemies because it shows political indifference. Additionally, I believe a small tax break for married couples would be important for the progress and development in the UK.
