Labour launch new survey that will ask students to highlight issues most important to them.
Topics include the living wage, cheaper public transport and getting on the housing ladder.
Thousands of students and young voters are being asked what issues matter most to them by Labour’s parliamentary candidates in Brighton and Hove.
Anyone aged between 14 and 26 can take part online by visiting http://bit.ly/1eqCiCR or they can call the Labour Party office on 01273 330710 and ask for a paper copy to be put in the post.
Candidates and their teams will also be handing out hard copies over the next couple of months outside schools, colleges and the universities as well as on the doorstep
Labour’s parliamentary candidates, Peter Kyle, Nancy Platts and Purna Sen say the findings will become part of their 2015 General Election campaign.
Nancy Platts, Labour’s candidate in Brighton Kemptown and Peacehaven, said: “We want people to go out and vote in 2015 but it is up to us, as politicians, to give them something to vote for.
“This is a chance for teenagers and students to tell us what would make politics relevant to their lives. We want to find out what matters most to them so we can campaign to make it happen.”
The survey will be online for the next few months and anyone who takes part will be entered into a prize draw for a tablet.
Other topics covered will be affordable higher education, better quality rental properties, Education Maintenance Allowance and free access to the internet.
