The very fact that you informed us that there are nine million pensioners, out of a UK population of sixty million, makes them a minority group. Just as if there was a political party made up of the million and a half Muslims in the country, they too would be classed as a minority group.
I still think organisations that lobby on behalf of pensioners is the way forward. They should be better organised and raise their profile more, because there are very real concerns regarding the quality of life of elderly people, and they deserve better.
If there was one party soley concerned with 'grey' issues, they face one major problem, mainly that their representatives will keep, er....moving on.
