Taxpayers' Alliance
The Taxpayers' Alliance (TPA) is a right-wing single-issue think tank and lobbying group advocating "lower taxes and reformed public services". On 19 September 2007, the Hayek Society, a LSE right-wing group, circulated a job description to its members for a internships at TPA.
In a March 2009 presentation TPA Chief Executive Matthew Elliott and Tim Montgomerie described IEA as part of the infrastructure of the conservative movement in Britain.[1]
Susie Squire formerly of the Stockholm Network acted as the alliances campaign manager until 2010 when she left to work as an advisor to Iain Duncan Smith.[2]
