Name?

Kati Brooks.

How old are you?

20.

Where do you live?

Thetford in Norfolk.

What do you do?

I'm a customer advisor at a building society.

Kids?

None.

Why haven't you voted before?

I was on holiday for the Euro and local elections and didn't get organised enough to get my sister to vote for me. Before that, I was too young to vote in the last general election.

What's the big issue for you in this election?

Really it's the criminal justice system. People are committing serious crimes and not getting enough time in jail. Life should mean life. We give too many people life sentences and they're out after 10 years. It's just ridiculous.

What's the first thing you'd do as Prime Minister?

I'd bring all of our troops home from Afghanistan. And if we're dreaming, I'd just change the law so everyone would be really safe - so no one would be afraid of being stabbed or mugged in the big cities.
