Establish an MP for Seniors
This person would attempt to safeguard the rights and wellbeing of pensioners and other older persons over retirement age.
There are so many changes taking place quickly that a voice in Parliament to share our concerns is very necessary. In recent times there have been changes regarding motor vehicle driving, winter fuel allowance, taxable income and finances generally etc.
There is a minister for Children; there should be a comparable one for older persons, Seniors, who as a group are also less able to speak for themselves.
