Current and soon to be pensioners are likely to have it about as good as it'll get. My generation will have to work for longer to pay for retirement and are likely to have far less state support.

Sadly these things have to be paid for, and paid for, for the most part, by those who are of working age.
Things which simply prove that statements like "my vote makes no difference / they're all the same / they're all as bad as each other" are also uttered by people with chronic cranial blockage of the lower colon.

The policies of at least one of this country's major political parties are being shaped by the views of those who have a vote and plan to use it. That's called democracy. The solution, for the social meedja generation who are on the receiving end of this, is to stop listening to idiots like Russell Brand, and start using their right to vote.
