Re: Your top priorities for the new coalition
 

Would like to see a benefit system which makes you better off at work. With more joined up thinking from Housing Benefit, free prescriptions & suchlike being more available at the lower end of the pay scale. These seem to be the most helpful benefits and the reason people remain on benefits rather than working. Sadly these are the ones lost immediately people start working, never mind the fact they still have to survive until the first pay day on fresh air and you are then left permanently in arrears on rent.
