The vocational business team organised the event in a Question Time format which will allowed them to engage with politicians and get the answers to questions surrounding local politics. This event was organised to engage students with politics and to understand the importance of using their vote.
Student Kieran Rosenau-White said: “The event aimed to highlight the importance of voting, even if some students won’t be eligible for this general election. Forming a point of view and understanding policies that will affect themselves or their families will help them to better understand in the future.”
NULC students are being encouraged to learn about the main political parties’ policies and plans should they win the election and form their own views on who they’d like to see in power. Around 2,900 NULC students will be eligible to vote by 7 May. During the last general election only 44 per cent of 18-24 year olds voted, meaning that over half are not helping to influence who helps to run the country.
Said Kieran: “Young people can sometimes feel like their opinion isn’t valid, but with less than half of 18-24 year olds voting in the last election, it shows that their views can really make a difference and their vote really does count.”
A follow up event has also been arranged where Labour MP for Newcastle-under-Lyme, Paul Farrelly will be talking to students about his party’s policies and how they could implement these after the next election which includes education, costs of living and many more issues which will effect students at NULC.
