As of yet I have not received any replies. So i shall now send them the link to this as well just to ensure that they have seen it.

Hello.

The election has been announced, thank you Mr Brown.

And i live in the Milton Keynes North constituecy. This will be the first time I have had the opportunity to vote at the general level and I am not sure who I wish to vote for. And who would be better for me.

So let me tell you a little about me. I went to stantonbury campus, got reasonable GCSEs and took the first year of A-levels. I didn’t do very well and so only done the first year. I left school and went straight into work. I am now, naerly 3 years on, part of ‘the store management team’ for a national retailer, i am currently having to work in hemel hempstead but its looking like that may change to somewhere abit further out soon. So, I have a good job, earn a reasonable amount of money yet no one seems to want to let me buy a house. I have tried to purchase a flat at the local genisis development whom told me that i don’t earn enough, I greatly thank Mr Darling for the recent increase in stamp duty allowance, that will help greatly. So what i want to know is what will your party do to help this?

Also on a simlar note, the benefits system. I know someone who had a child at 16, and is now at 20 living in her own place in a very nice part of MK. This is done by her getting on the housing list and claiming for her to be in desperate need of a house as her mum has apparently kicked her out, her mum is a childminder and looks after her son during the day and when she goes on her weekly pub crawls, is this really a sensible way to spend what is efictivle my, as a tax payer, money?

Another thing that irritates me is the money given to students, again more tax payers money. I see people I went to school with going out and drinking my money away. I have no problem with people buying alcohol but if people are buying it with my money it should be for me! I have thought of a fix to this. Couldn’t the money be paid to then in vouchers? They can only be used on specific items, books, essential food etc. NO alcohol etc etc. I am sure most retailers would agree with this and it would mean that what our money is spent on can be controlled, and would also save money for the NHS as students would have less money to spend on drinks and so wouldn’t have so many alcohol related hospitalisations.

And the final thing is jobs. My girlfriend has only just managed to get a full time job. She has been looking for well over a year. She has good A levels. Yet people want expeience. She hasn’t been officially unemployed as she has had a 12 hr a week part time job. How would your government solve this?

I look forward to hearing your responses. This email has been sent to each candidate, according to the bbc website, and the party leaders
