Re: Cameron: No means testing for pensioner benefits

If you don't believe or have faith in a system your not going to take part in it and as for being candidates themselves as independents they would lose their deposits due in no small part to the attitudes towards them seen on here. They are not going to join mainstream parties because of the disenfranchisement they feel catch 22 for many of them and if they did stand on their own and knocked on the doors of some you it wouldn't be a case of you thinking "good for them trying to improve things" it's more likely to be "this kid is trying to tell me".

We seem to have a situation in the UK right now of if you've made it to a certain social point or have passed a certain age pull up the ladder and sod the rest. Yes people have worked hard mainly to get where they are but factors were in play in the past that are not now it's a different more difficult world for the kids coming up. The decline in society and it's attitudes are there and getting worse fed and encouraged by our current bunch of politicians and the system they have created which is only interested in getting sections of society attacking each other while they look after themselves.

Is it really so bad to expect and want better from the politicians for them to actually do what is best for the country and its people and when did we the public start to let them get away with doing anything less seems to me some people are more interested in defending the system they believe has benefitted them then demanding that it, us and society get better not just fiscally solvent. Oh and my kids being part of the solution rather then the problem they would but are generally too tired after all of them working 50+ hours a week.
