All the money used to pay benefits should be used to keep me in coke and hookers. It can get quite expensive you know..

Shouldn't exist. Savage benefit withdrawl is the cause of most socioeconomic ills of the unskilled.

    Most of the benefits shouldn't exist in the first place as they are failure rewards!

    Reward failure and you get more of it.

    Exactly. I'm a bit worried by the people who've voted for "Show people they can't get something for nothing".

    Does taking away most of somebody's hard-earned earnings really teach them that? You could have fooled me!

Gerrymandering (as Adam says).

My "other please specify" is of course to ensure that government support is targetted at Labour's key core supporters.

    Sure, but that sort of overlaps with options 1 and 3, I didn't want the list to be too long.
