Soixante-huitards?

No pension until you were 68? My father died when he was 68. These increases in the pension age are based on average life expectancy, even though the difference in the life expectancies of the richest and of the poorest has more than doubled under the preferred economic system of all political parties. This is class war by all of them against us.

But we are heading for a hung Parliament. To strengthen families and communities by securing economic equality and international peace through the democratic political control of the means to those ends, including national and parliamentary sovereignty, we need to hold the balance of power. Owing nothing to either main party, we must be open to the better offer. There does, however, need to be a better offer. Not a lesser evil, which in any case the Labour Party is not.

    1. None, and that is the point. They want to work us until we drop.
