Well we could decide to move on from the idea of the deserving poor we have inherited from the old Vestry days, but none of the main parties seem at all interested in so doing (actually I'm not sure any of the minor parties have shown much inclination either). Being even more radical we might try to have entrenched socio-economic rights but that would be a bit radical I'm guessing. Still its something that is important for social cohesion. We all have an interest in it, but that common interest is obscured by the way politics is described. -- Francis Davey _______________________________________________ Mailing list [email protected] Archive, settings, or unsubscribe: https://secure.mysociety.org/admin/lists/mailman/listinfo/developers-public
