NEARLY half of disabled people feel ignored and forgotten by political parties campaigning for the general election, a new survey showed today. 

Disability charity Sense polled 1,000 people with complex disabilities and found that 47 per cent believe disabled people and the problems they face are not important to political parties.

The same percentage said that politicians do not do enough to engage disabled people to secure their vote.
