The public could be offered discounted shares in state-owned banks under a "people's bonus" plan outlined by Tory shadow chancellor George Osborne.

In a Sunday Times interview, Mr Osborne said the measure would be a reward for the £850bn of public money used to prop up failing financial institutions.

Young people and those on low incomes would be offered extra discounts.

I wonder if they'll let you buy them with a credit card.

cliche of the decade

elections have always been popularity contests, all the way back to the birth of democracy. i don't think there was ever a golden age when it was all about policy and people actually put any real degree of thought into who they voted for

it's got worse, though

people are changing their policies on an almost week by week basis, simply to get a couple of extra points in the opinion polls

That sounds exactly like privatisation to me. Wish they'd stop pretending they were doing everyone a f*cking favour.

I'm sure black folk know where they stand with the Klu Klux Klan too :)

tbh I think most people don't change their political views based on what the politician is like anyway. Think about it ... who're you voting for at the next election? Labour? Lib dem? Tory? Green party?

Yet that doesn't tell you a great deal about what the person you're voting for actually stands for. I mean, I'd have assumed that a Merseyside Labour MP would share at least some of my views. However, my local one has voted the opposite way in parliament to what I would have said myself on pretty much everything I give a toss about ... so I'll not vote for her, obviously, even though I'd much rather Labour win the general election than the Tories.

Although in any case, most people won't change their political allegiances based on what an individual politician says anyway.
