Jennifer O'Reilley.

21.

Northampton - but I'm originally from Dublin.

What do you do?

I'm training to be an actor at Northampton University.

Kids?

No.

Why haven't you voted before?

Being from the Irish Republic, I wasn't here at the last general election. I didn't vote in the local and Euro elections because I didn't know I was eligible.

There should be more help for ordinary people, and not just for the rich bankers.

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

I'd get the troops out of Afghanistan.
