Raise the minimum wage and keep it in line with inflation

For too long the minimum wage has not kept in line with inflation. Our rents, utility bills and cost of food have soared while minimum wages have not risen enough to compensate. This has meant that many people (especially young people) are forced to work long hours while struggling to pay thier rent and utility bills.

 Please urge the government to raise the minimum wage so that people on low incomes can afford to live without having to work ridiculously long hours.
