''if they put the divi up more the % will go really high & attract political interest in things like windfall taxes.''
are politicians calling for a windfall tax on Vodafone?
dividend yield not relevant to it.
''I might be wrong but I think an increased buy back is more likely myself.''
Lloyds has a progressive dividend policy,so the dividend yield will be increasing further in the coming years from the current nearly 6.5% at the current share price, and currently has a policy of returning excess capital by either share buybacks,special dividends or both.
All assuming maintaining/increasing profitability.
