EXCLUSIVE: WHAT YOU SAID
Jake, 20
“Brexit is the most important political issue in this
election. It has taken so long to get it sorted. I will
most likely vote for the Liberal Democrats because of
their stance on Brexit.”
Bailey, 18
“The most important issue to me is student loans.
It is very relevant for people our age. Brexit is
also important. I am still undecided who I am
voting for.”

people, they just look out for the rich people and
universal credit people are starving, committing
suicide, things like that, so they have to go.”
