It
is fair to say that the vote winning flirting and pouting is well underway in
preparation for the General Election next year.
Whilst
I am always incredibly sceptical at the standard of smooching on offer from
upper class middle aged former public school boys, there really has been some
good to come from the vote winning antics recently.
Firstly,
Scotland. Whilst independence has been an important issue, let’s cut to the
chase on the key matter……just under 10% of the votes and Parliamentary seats
will come from Scotland. Scotland could end up being the difference between an
outright majority and another coalition Government. Scotland is a big deal.
That’s
why each of the parties will work with Scotland to ensure that it gets what it
wants (broadly) from the recent yes / no vote……i.e. more independence but not
total independence. That can’t be a bad thing.
Secondly,
Pension Reform. The last 6 months has seen the most radical reform of pensions
in their history. The previous rigidness of pensions caused frustration and
dis-heartedness for millions……yet they have been changed forever for the
greater good. Why now? 75% of the over 55’s will vote next year!
Just
remember……not all the strutting, seduction and point scoring for our votes is a
bad thing.
