apelike Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Better off as I'm now retired and don't pay; Bedroom tax or Council tax and also get a free bus pass. Still wont vote for any of the 3 main parties though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny5 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Slightly better off but much more optimistic. Won't affect how I vote(d). Much as I like Ed Milliband I'm terrified of Labours overall economic acumen. Their idea of economics is swelling the state and creating 'red tape' jobs. Goes against individual responsibility and hence personal freedom. Plus I can't possibly vote for the rabble that Labour put forward for Sheffield MP's.

SteveJ68 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Loads better off, a lot to do with the good the current government have done, I'll be keeping my vote with the Tories. A lot better.

janie48 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Not exactly better off, my inheritance is running out. ---------- Post added 01-05-2015 at 22:19 ---------- Slightly better off but much more optimistic.

I would prefer someone else as the Labour leader, but having reservations about him as a future PM isn't going to stop me voting for Labour.

blake Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 same same but different. Five years is quite a long time but not long enough to make most people who are not Scottish, to change their vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titanic99 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Capital assetts increased (due to inheritance) House value reduced Wage increase around 2-3% over this time (well below inflation) Pension worth less than 2009 Another Pension company gone bust and in the Pension Protection Fund which has a reduction Retirement working to 68 before I can get my pension now Oh I long for those days under Labour when we had decent pay rises and I could look forward to retirement safe in the knowledge I'd got a couple of decent pensions.

You must be a lefty Marxist nutcase to want such things? It's much easier to graft your balls off for a pittance and be a Tory supporter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
