Description :
Today in the UK, the population is again as unequal as it was around 1918. For 60 years it became more equal, but for the last 30 years, more unequal. Closer inspection of the time series suggests there were key times when the trends changed direction. With all three main parties offering what may appear to be very similar solutions to the issue of reducing inequality it seems unlikely that voting in 2010 will make much of a difference. The last two times that the direction of trends in inequalities changed, there were several general elections held within a relatively short period. It could be time for a change again.
