The pensioners would never vote for party that would introduce something like this. They HATE the idea of younger generations getting “free money”. Honestly they’re the real problem. But they’re the demographic that vote the most and have a huge sway.
Just don’t point out to them how their triple locked pensions are probably the biggest financial cost to our [UK] country…
