Tom Harwood is a Conservative commentator who became well known for his anti-NUS (National Union of Students) campaign. He's now running a new satirical campaign called Votes At 12. Harwood’s stunt of fighting for the right of 12-year-olds to vote is his way of mocking the campaign for votes for 16-year-olds. But he doesn’t seem to...
Young people could be holding the key to Number 10 today as we go to the polls. There has been much written about the youth vote and the possibility that young people could swing this election. And historically, the turnout of those of under 25 has been low. But one 21-year-old is determined to prove pundits wrong. She took a day off...
It's election day. It might feel like there's nothing else you can do other than cast your vote. But until the polls close at 10pm, there are still lots of things you can do to help defeat the Tories.

A shop worker's election post shows why the Conservatives want to talk Trident. And it's going viral. Defence Secretary Michael Fallon kicked off the week by trying to suggest that Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn is a security threat.

In what could be a major blow to the Labour coup and leadership candidate Owen Smith, the judge ruled in favour of allowing up to 130,000 new members a vote. These members are thought to be more likely to support...

Every one of those members must pay a fee of £25 to...

I analysed the voting records of all the Labour MPs who decided not to back Jeremy Corbyn as leader of the Labour Party, and the results are shocking. They share (at least) this one shameful thing in common.
Of the 100 Labour MPs in office during parliamentary voting on whether to investigate the Iraq War, almost all of...
What do Labour members, MPs, and voters have in common? Most members voted for Jeremy Corbyn as party leader in 2015 and most MPs voted against him. In other words, there's a gulf of opinion within the Labour movement. But with a new poll showing Corbyn continues on the right track as far as members are concerned, does this really...
A sea of lies, political jargon and boring speeches. This is what makes politics seem so pointless to so many young voters. And this is precisely what a group of young women recently told Shadow Minister for Young People and Voter Registration, Gloria de Piero, when asked why they didn't vote.
