New Scientist: "Right-wing governments may sap some people's will to live and result in more suicides, conclude studies in Britain and Australia.
The researchers speculate that losers are more likely to kill themselves in the individualistic, 'winner-takes-all' societies favoured by right wing governments, because they are left to fend for themselves. Wide disparities in wealth also sharpen any sense of hopelessness, the researchers argue."
Scotsman: "Poverty depresses people. The poverty trap can be sprung by employment being available as and when and, if possible, where recovering alcoholics, drug abusers and people battling depression can attempt to break the vicious circle of addiction. People unable to take up work for whatever reason need support that can only be paid for by all of us."
