What do your beloved Conservative party propose?
Generation after generation who choose the option to live on benefits?
I'm afraid if everyone decided to go for that option we'd soon come unstuck, as there'd be no money in the pot to pay anyone's benefits, and we'd be in a worse economic crisis than we are currently.
