Bob,
Unfortunatly all parties have attempted to sort out the benefits system, but all major parties have one eye on the ballot box.
Frank Fields a Labour MP and quitter right wing was asked by blair some years to look at ways of sorting it, he did, it was to radical and blair dropped it.
Since that time all parties have tinkered with it, including the latest fiasco by Ian Duncan Smith (tory) who im sure well meaning but also put forward a radical plan, which has got watered down and watered down.
When the claimant were saying they get £1,000 a month on dole9(for doing nothing)
and need £1,300 before they could consider leaving the dole!!!
The programme showed in the 1940's the benefits was not a right, but applied for and often not given
interestingly not to much unemployment either.
