For the first time in many years you have the opportunity to vote for a Communist candidate, and what a time it is to show those in power that you are not prepared to accept "Bankers Greed" as an excuse to have your living standards reduced. Why should we have to bear the brunt of the cuts like £50 off the winter heating allowance for the under 80s and £100 off the over 80s?
