It is baffling to me.

I am not against higher taxes, but I really don't trust the PC government with ore money. In my opinion if they get a tax increase through they will use the money to buy the next election (raises for public sector and big spending for the rest).
I could get behind a party that wanted to raise taxes and mandate a fixed amount of the royalty revenue into a trust fund.
Unfortunately, the PCs raided the Sustainability fund very shortly after they created it. They also unwrote their own rule about balanced budgets.
