Nicknamed "The Greys", the pensioner party could become an ever 
increasing force in Brittish politics. The recent elections in Scotland 
landed them a single MSP (Member Scottish Parliament ). The 55+ age 
group count for as much as 1/3 of the voting public with a higher % 
voter turn out than any other age demographic. Togehter with 11 other 
independent/single issue elected MSP's, the ruling Labor party has been 
forced into a coallition for the first time.

Single issue parties are a continuing trend in Britian, but why not here 
in the States? Imaginge a party focused solely on the domestic issues 
of the 55+ age group. That is a very large chunk of the voting 
population, probably with a good deal of money raising clout, which 
could have more political influence as a focused, issues based party 
than dealing with the two main party's that claim to represent them. 

In the unlikely event that the voting laws are changed, I might consider 
the creation of the Green Card Party :-)
