 Britain's three main political parties have been accused of avoiding the issue of public sector pension reform in the run-up to the May 6th general election, according to an expert.AXA Life has said that the electioneering campaigns of current prime minister Gordon Brown, Conservative leader David Cameron and Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg have all failed to outline any clear plans to address this growing issue. Previous AXA research found that nearly six-in-ten of Britain's electorate thought pensions to be an important policy area, but after the final live leaders debate last week, Steve Folkard, head of pensions and savings policy at the firm, said: "Disappointingly, after three comprehensive debates, the voting public has not heard how the party leaders would deal with the reform of public-sector pensions if they were to be forming the next government. "The real value would have been in having the leaders' debate this key issue in front of the nation and the lack of any real discussion during the live TV debates is a missed opportunity." Mr Folkard added that the voting public is eager to find out how the government is planning to map out a sustainable plan for the future of pensions in the public sector. Posted by Daniel Frost
