WHAT YOU'RE SAYING TO WILL
If a mainstream party (i.e. not the Libdems) actually decided to scrap top up fees etc, by the time they got round to it you would be a taxpayer not a student. You would then have the pleasure of paying not only for your own education through loans but for the next generation's as well. Whatever happens it is in your personal interest to vote for a party that supports fees for higher education.

Good day sir, i am loving the gabba. As a keen rave man myself, it is good to see some good tunes being spread around the land. However, I feel as far as the election goes, the gabba should be turned down a notch so one can clearly think about the consequences of voting. I would recommend voting lib dem as they are the only party against fees for education and as Will picked up on, also still stand against the war effort.

Law and order is certainly a huge issue. It doesn't seem right to me that a judge has to sentence someone longer so that he feels that a prisoner will serve realistically a decent sentence. Now if someone is sentenced to eight years in prison they will usually serve only four. The Tories have already said that they will scrap all of this by saying that you will serve what you get. Are you thinking what we are thinking? That Labour isn't working.

If New Labour is returned you will leave university to start your working life already hugely in debt. If by that time you wish to settle down and produce a family of your own, you will be at a huge disadvantage. It is unlikely that you will be able to afford the size of mortgage necessary to buy a house at today's inflated prices. By that time rebanding of properties for council tax will have taken place and your council tax bills will be massive. New Labour also has a secret agenda of making pension contributions compulsory, which will probably be in place by then. Under New Labour young people face a lifetime of debt.

I am an Exeter university student, I am struggling with the lack of care and concern that firstly many students have with this election, this is shown within the house, and secondly from the party's towards students. If we let "Phoney Blair" carry on down the same track, we as a country will be in dire straights as the health service currently is a disgrace, as is the education system as a whole, and coming from a military family the disregard shown towards the welfare of our personal is horrific. How many more cut backs can our military take before we become as nationally effective as the Swiss Guard? What are some of these students views?

Dudes/Dudettes,
Love the house! I live in a similar pit consisting of three boys and three girls, aged 23 to 29. The only difference is that we've all graduated and have moved into the work market. You'll be in the same position as us before you know it, and MIGHT wish that you'd taken positive action to ensure that your voice is heard. Why not? It doesn't take much effort, after all.
Keep up the good work,
Tim Taylor, Oxford
Will, if you are worried about student fees then only the Tories will help. I am just about to start university and will be in for all these fees. The Conservatives want university to be a completely free education tier - although the Lib Dems preach about abolishing top-up fees, they would still charge for tuition fees.

You should be politically aware, although why I am not sure any more. I am now 41 and was fortunate enough to be a teenager when there were good bands around to make young people politically aware. Now having sold my own business I couldn't blame any young people for not voting. I have come to realise just how corrupt our politicians are, they aren't interested in making our lives more comfortable, only in making theirs more so. They sold off all our public utility companies and told us it would lead to cheaper bills because of more competition, they sold council houses off when it was never the intention for council houses to be owned. They shut down nearly all our coal mines, and now almost a fifth of the population of these towns depend on benefits of one kind or another. They tell us it's better now the Bank of England control interest rates, because of the stability in rates, but now hardly any young people can afford to buy their own house. Governments are elected to represent the people, but if you add up the figures for this election and all those past, you will see that for most of the time 65% of the people don't want the government that is elected, yet they usually end up with big majorities that are not representative of the votes cast. All told, I would say to you "don't bother voting, it will make no difference to your life". These corrupt people don't give a damn about the very people they are supposed to represent, and it's no wonder Oliver Cromwell shut the houses of Parliament down for twelve years.

I do hope that Will will vote and cast his vote for the Lib Dems, who are the only party to be against any form of fees for education.

Will, love the bike - having just passed my CBT I'm also into the sweet music of the engine of bikes. But perhaps CBT should stand for crime, brutality, terrorism. You are right to be concerned about this issue, but we must also ensure that our civil liberties are not violated. Without law and order we have very little. You need to consider which party you feel will be tough on crime, enabling ordinary people to go about their daily lives. Tuition fees is something that concerns a number of voters. Being able to vote for a party that is making policy that is important to you is a good way to use your vote. Good luck with your studies.
Nikki Ledingham, Sheffield
If Will is interested in law and order and student fees, he should clearly vote Labour. The Labour Party has reformed student financing to ensure that all institutions are properly funded, while protecting the poorest students and families from the costs of higher education. Under Labour, no student has to pay anything until after he or she graduates from university, and no graduate has to pay until he or she is able to do so. In the field of law and order, Labour has taken seriously the concerns of those whose lives are blighted by anti-social behaviour. The introduction of ASBOs has been an effective measure to stop the petty behaviour and poor attitudes that blight some areas. In Nottingham, we have provided literally hundreds of extra police officers, as well as community support officers and neighbourhood wardens to ensure the time of those officers is used effectively. If re-elected, Labour's policies include measures to tackle serious and organised crime. With the vast majority of crime caused by those addicted to drugs, stopping drugs reaching our streets will bring down crime yet further.
