Liberal Democrats offer REAL ALTERNATIVE on pension reform

According to Henry Bolton, the Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for Runnymede & Weybridge, there is a real need to introduce a pension that ends means testing for the oldest pensioners and removes discrimination against women. He says, "Women should be entitled to a pension in their own right. The LibDems would address this immediately once in power."

Liberal Democrats would raise the weekly pension at 75 by £25 and axe the Council Tax. If you don't pay income tax you wouldn't pay Local Income Tax either. This would result in 6 million pensioners being better off; an average single pensioner saving £209 a year and the average pensioner couple £438 a year. These savings are significantly greater and more than either Tory or Labour proposals.
