Let's face it the Tories could not give a toss about young people, Oswanker has virtually doubled the nations debt in a desperate attempt to buy the election and those starting out on their working lives will have to foot the bill. 1. Education, earn or learn is a dilemma facing millions, a huge debt is yours for bettering yourself unlike previous generations, and under Gove education has gone backwards with even private schools now in decline, the reason? A lack of teachers put off by long hours, poor pay and rock bottom morale, the DoE own figures show that in the year up to November 2013 over 50,000 teachers left the profession, that is one in 12 the new intake did not even dent this figure, unsurprisingly more up to date figures are unavailable. Conclusion the Tories could not give a toss. 2. Housing policy, if you are young it is your duty to pay for the retirement of elderly boomers and parasitic bankers with high rents or vast mortgages secured on rabbit hutches, they are using your money to prop up house prices, pay your landlords rent and subsidize lenders with free money and dubious schemes designed to pile the risk on you. Conclusion, you are fucked because you are regarded as a debt slave. 3. And potentially the most odious with the whiff of gerrymandering about it, if you are a student you can no longer register to vote at your college or your halls of residence, instead you must have a permanent address or go through a lengthy process of form filling. Conclusion, they do not want you to vote because you wont vote for them. |

That picture is very accurate assessment, of the complete total and utter disaster he has caused, the only silver lining is he has singlehandedly lost the general election for the Tories. |

None of them are worth a toss in my opinion, I'm rather naively pinning my hopes on political chaos and a complete reform of the electoral system for the sake of the long term viability of the UK. |

The main thing you are doing wrong is to believe the propaganda about benefit claimants, that in reality has nothing to back it up:- http://csp.sagepub.com/content/early/2013/09/26/0261018313501825 In search of ‘intergenerational cultures of worklessness’: Hunting the Yeti and shooting zombies Robert Macdonald Teesside University, UK Tracy Shildrick University of Leeds, UK Andy Furlong Glasgow University, UK Robert MacDonald, Social Futures Institute, School of Social Sciences and Law, Teesside University, Middlesbrough TS1 3BA, England. Email: r.macdonald@tees.ac.uk Abstract The idea of ‘intergenerational cultures of worklessness’ has become influential in UK politics and policy, and been used to explain contemporary worklessness and to justify welfare reforms. Workless parents are said to pass on to their children attitudes and behaviours which inculcate ‘welfare dependency’. In its strongest version, politicians and welfare practitioners talk confidently of ‘three generations of families where no-one has ever worked’; even though no study, bar this one, has investigated whether such families actually exist.

Well he certainly would not be the dominant personality that we have become accustomed to over the years ......... but is that necessarily a bad thing? I'm reminded that IDS was once thought PM material ......... Sir Alex Douglas Hume was PM, but mentioning that does negate the argument I put forward. |

What is it you think I've forgotten? The exit polls come May will tell us far more about voter profiling than YouGov are able to discern. Overlooked in a lot of the debates is the number that do not vote. I don't see any increase, the opposite, and I'll bet now that the Young are put off in huge numbers. The 1 in 3 is another mislead to cover the actuality that Politics is unpopular. |

There are many 'truths' in politics each as sincerely held by one and as equally rejected by another. Tigger, when he can be bothered to argue a point seriously, makes some very good points. However I think this post is designed just to stir it up on a slow Sunday afternoon. Any Tory with nothing better to do could no doubt come up with three reasons why the young should not vote Labour, three more for the middle aged and a further three for the elderly. And no, I'm not volunteering; I've got a plane to catch this evening! |

And how is reform of the electoral system going to rebalance the economy? It's like a big Rookery, shake the branches and they jump up flap around and then land on a different branch. PR or any other system of voting is not going to provide clear leadership objectives based on a Manifesto it will bring even more fudge. We need strategies for change and people willing to vote to take the medicine of change and they are unlikely to do that. Truth is that we get the Gov. we deserve. |
