Hiya, Any thoughts on the impact of the introduction of Pension Credit on bringing Pensioners out of Poverty. Seems a good thing to me, what do you think?

Longcol Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 The tories ruled on 43% of the vote. As far as I can remember in my lifetime no government has got over 50% of the popular vote. All governments have however called general elections. My concern is that a BNP (or similar) government once in power would contrive not to hold an election but would give themsleves dictatorial powers - like Hitler did.

nightrider Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Certainly will not be voting for Labour, Conservative or LibDems in the upcoming general elections. The problem is the parties who do actually represent working class people e.g. the Greens have nowhere near the cash that the main 3 parties do, and do not get time on TV like they do. Just wish the progressive parties would unite to take on the bigger parties. what would happen if they did that and won the election though? I bet the same old parasites would just join the new big party and then we would be back to square one! The problem is not the parties, but the people who become politicians and how can we keep them out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truman Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Hiya, Any thoughts on the impact of the introduction of Pension Credit on bringing Pensioners out of Poverty. Seems a good thing to me, what do you think? Why not just increase the pension,a lot simpler.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logiebaird Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 The problem is not the parties, but the people who become politicians and how can we keep them out? You can keep the money grabbing assholes out by making it a vocational job on a low salary - that would guarantee that that the candicates were void of self interest and that should be a requirement for those claiming to represent the contstituents on the basis of justice / fairness / advancement of a society as opposed to an individual. .............. waits for the wouldnt attract clever people by giving low salary argument to be wheeled out............
