Time and again in recent decades, we savers have been punished in our efforts to provide for the future. Despite the clear economic and social benefits of a thriving savings culture, successive governments have obstructed, neglected, and at times directly attacked the interests of responsible savers.
The only way savers can stop this mistreatment is to vote for candidates who are prepared to support savers in the next parliament. So in the run up to the election we are asking candidates to tell us where they stand on some important saving issues.
