Parties For The Public Good
Research conducted by Ipsos for the Young Foundation shows that the British public believe political parties have an important role to play in democracy. Half the public (49%) say that political parties in Britain enable the people to have a voice; and a similar number also disagree that Britain would be better off if political parties did not exist and all politicians were independent. At the same time, fewer than a quarter believe that parties are open and transparent, and the most popular approaches to making parties more appealing would be for them to involve people more in local decision making and for them to listen more to the public.

Pensioners Embrace New Technology
Findings from an Ipsos survey on behalf of Help the Aged and BT suggest that older people are keen to embrace new technology, with over two-fifths (44%) of those aged 65 and over owning a mobile phone, and a quarter (26%) recognising that new technology will help them to remain independent in their home as they get older. Contrary to the stereotype of older people being out of touch with technology, the research suggests that many among the older generations can, and would like to, benefit from it but are being held back because they don't know how to use it or haven't been taught (20%). A third (31%) are concerned that technology is complicated and confusing.
