| BBC2's Newsnight programme have been running a series on Salford, visiting some of the most deprived neighbourhoods in the country to assess New Labour's record in tackling inequality and poverty. Large amounts of money are being poured into this town for the purposes of regeneration, but that's not going to turn things round overnight. This is the sort of place, blighted by economic decay and the breakdown of the social fabric, where apathy and abstention will hit record highs. Hazel Blears will win another effortless victory but the real question will be how many(or how few) people make it the polls at all. In areas like this as much as 30% of the adult population of working age depend on state benefits for their income, and one opinion poll predicts that 55% of benefit recipients will stay at home in this election. |
