I think the issue is that whilst so many other benefits, services and sectors are seeing cuts one sector of the population is not only immune from such cuts but are getting more spending instead. Why should reducing the deficit, which the Conservatives tell us is a necessity, fall disproportionately on certain sectors whilst others are less affected?

It just seems a bit odd for the Conservatives to be saying how important it is to control spending and then doing this for the biggest voting group.

Anyway it's ultimately the fault of young people for not voting. Russell Brand telling people not to vote isn't helping things either. The Government is elected by those who vote.
