BBC News: Reports that the DPM Nick Clegg has stated that richer old age pensioners should lose their benefits after the next general election.
Lets Get Real:
One wonder does Mr Clegg not understand that its old people that tend to come out vote, does he want a Liberal Democrat presence in the House of Commons after the next election, thus far the Liberal Democrats have lost the youth vote due their supporting tuition fees, now they are scaring old age pensioners. This policy suggestion is opposed by the Conservative Party, PM David Cameron has made it clear that he does not support the move, thus in the 2015 election both the Labour Party and the Conservative Party have a perfect way to kill off the Lib Dems as a political force, make them seem to the right of Lady Thatcher when it comes to welfare. One can see the political advert now, old age pensioner in her chair, looking at a letter saying that because her house is considered a major asset she will lose her benefits, she looks at a picture of her family, she was going to give the house to them, she has only limited heating, she is not cash rich. There is snow outside, camera looks in to her sad eyes. Yes folks, the Lib Dems are fools.
