Name?
Marie Jackson.
How old are you?
19.
Where do you live?
I'm from Richmond in North Yorkshire, but I'm at Lancaster University.
What do you do?
Second year criminology student.
Kids?
No.
Why haven't you voted before?
Being 19, this is my first chance to vote in a General Election. I was really busy when the local and Euro elections came around so I didn't really get involved with that either.
What's the big issue for you in this election?
How they intend to tackle the binge drinking culture. Everyone knows how it feels, waking up feeling God-awful and not really knowing what happened.
But I've also seen what happens when it goes beyond that. It gets hold of people. When drink's thrust in your face like it is at university I just don't think it's right. I think there should be a lot more focus on telling people they don't need to drink to have a good time.
What's the first thing you'd do as Prime Minister?
I'd like to get more people aware of what's going on so they know what's going on in politics. I'd want to make sure ordinary people understand and feel like they want to get involved with it all.
