Kalpesh, 22 I am planning to vote because I'm a big fan of Tony Blair; I agree with the policies he's got. However, university fees are a main topic for me and I think tuition fees should be abolished. Students should get grants like they did a few years ago.

Alex, 21 I'm not going to vote because I haven't registered to vote. I'm not really following the election campaign so I'm not sure what policies I would be interested in. At the end of the day, I'm just not a political person. But, I do believe tuition fees should be scrapped.

Anthea, 22 I'm not sure if I'm going to vote because I don't feel I've got enough information about all the politicians. I don't like the Conservatives' campaign: 'Are you thinking what we're thinking?' I don't think they're thinking about the things I care about, like more money for education and the NHS.

Alice, 20 Yes I'm planning to vote. I think it's important to vote because that's the only way you can get your voice heard. I know that my one little vote might not make a difference, but if everyone felt like that then nobody would vote. The government should introduce more social things, like youth clubs. There's not a lot for young people to do except hang around the streets.

Karl, 21 I'm not planning to vote. I didn't even know there was an election to be honest. Instead of spending their time locking people up for smoking a joint, the government should be chasing major criminals. It's the politicians that are the biggest criminals; they are the biggest gangsters on the planet. Seriously, President Bush and his lot are like the Mafia.

Sophia, 20 I am going to vote in this General Election. It's my first time, so I think it's important. The government could do a lot more where the environment is concerned and I don't like the way the Labour government want to take away civil liberties, especially with ID cards.

Tanya, 20 I'm going to vote in the next General Election because I believe every vote counts. I'm not sure who I'll vote for but I know I won't be voting Labour. I would have voted for them before but they've gone downhill. All the main parties could just try listening to young people for a change.
