Someone on here, possibly Bigfeller, was bemoaning a Tory policy of cutting benefits for under 25s out of work/education.

Labour have/had a policy of cutting benefits for under 21s who hadn't achieved a certain level of education.

Its just different degrees of the same stuff.

There's not a massive amount to differentiate the main parties, apart from (at the moment) the quality of their leadership. You can probably point to some philosophical differences that would influence the broad approach they would take on the big issues, but fundamentally they are both targeting the same centre ground, and for the average 'squeezed middle' voter it wont make very much difference at all who gets elected. We'll be shafted equally.
