Information about political parties is available to all age groups, it's not about knowing as much information as possible anyway.

And Garinda, are you suggesting I should vote for a party because they deserve appreciation from me for their past achievements rather than their current? I thought they claimed to be 'new' labour anyway? So surely they're not really the same party as back then?

I think Tony Blair was a brilliant PM, so I am not closed minded enough to just say I don't like Gordon Brown because they are Labour, but generally they are not proving their worth to me other than they want to shut the post offices and I'm all for that. Funnily enough the majority of current Labour supporters DONT want that, so what are people going to do, are they going to stick with Labour and accept that not every policy suits their needs, or are they going to vote for another party to keep that little luxury?

Watching the London election broadcasts it seems BNP want to keep open post offices AND lower council tax. They say it in a monotonous drone though so I would question how much of their heart was actually into it, but are we going to see a rise in BNP support for those reasons? They added a cute 'you may be aware... blah blah immigration policy' 'closing the door and keeping it closed', it was all almost comical.

I worry about the elections because I feel that both Labour and the Conservatives have switched positions and are badly representing the people they claim to represent. So who knows what we are to expect, but I'd rather not have another rise in the average student debt after undertaking a degree.
