Ids £53 Petition
https:/ /www.ch ange.or g/en-GB /petiti ons/iai n-dunca n-smith -iain-d uncan-s mith-to -live-o n-53-a- week
This petition calls for Iain Duncan Smith, the current Work and Pensions Secretary, to prove his claim of being able to live on £7.57 a day, or £53 a week.
On this morning's Today Programme David Bennett, a market trader, said that after his housing benefit had been cut, he lives on £53 per week. The next interviewee was Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith, who was defending the changes. The interviewer then asked him if he could live on this amount. He replied: "If I had to, I would."
This petition calls on Iain Duncan Smith to live on this budget for at least one year. This would help realise the conservative party`s current mantra that "We are all in this together".
There are over 50,000 supporters already (myself included) so why not let him prove that he doesn't just come out with glib phrases?

If David Cameron thinks all these policies are going to guarantee him a majority at the next election he needs to think again.His only hope is maintaining the coalition with the Lib Dems (not that popular) or perhaps with UKIP (which at the moment would be more appealing to many).If he loses the next election then the future is desperate with the two ED's likely to lead us to ruin.
