2 weeks to go until the general election and I'll be a virgin voter (first time to vote).
I guess im slightly skeptical about the policies of the major UK parties and how they'll actually help students like me (bearing in mind I'll be starting uni from September this year).
The tories say they'll be with us through every stage of our life - yet they haven't got any clear cut policies on helping students compared to other parties.
Labour want to cut tuition fees from 9K to 6K - but that's almost nothing. They also want to increase the minimum wage to £8 an hour, with the Greens looking to boost it up to £10 whilst banning exploitive zero hours contracts.
So I guess the real question that remains is do we vote to aid ourselves as students (I.e Labour, Greens) or do we vote for what's best for the whole country (Tories)?

It would also increase immigration as well. Now they will be paid 11 times more than they would in their home country.
