If the Coalition, Conservative Party or Liberal Democrats try to
withdraw the Bus Pass and other universal benefits from
Pensioners there will be a massive campaign by NPC & Other
Pensioner Groups . Also Trade Union Retired members will be
part of that campaign. It is rumoured the threshold for
withdrawal will be quite low. Not just rich pensioners.
Please make sure the Green Party supports Pensioners. The Bus
Pass is environmentally friendly and has social benefits. An
investigation in Devon where I live found that it also benefited the
local economy by encouraging pensioners to travel and use local
shops, cafes etc. Quite apart from the reasons I have given so far
there are now huge numbers of pensioners with votes (pensioners
are the most enthusiastic voters) .
