I'm a 25 year old young professional, in training, on a low wage. It's going to increase in the next 2-3 years. Hopefully by quite a lot. I live at home, but hope to move out by the next election in 2029.

Over the last year or so, I have curated my list of things that will decide who I vote for:

  • Housing
  • Minimum wage increases
  • Immigration
  • NHS

But I still feel quite torn. The last 2 elections were ones where I didn't really have "skin in the game" so to speak - I voted how my parents said they wanted me to, as they had convinced me that anything other than a Tory government would be disastrous for us as a family.

Obviously now I'm voting with my head, but I'm still pretty indecisive. So I'm just wondering what other people view as their key issues in the election.

I won’t be voting Tory after their ridiculous green paper about Welfare reforms.

NHS; Social care; Housing; Education; and most of these will require some reversal of cuts to local authorities. Not blaming sick or disabled people for everything. A bit of basic competence wouldn't come amiss either!

I would add reversing or at least modifying Brexit; but no party seems likely to do that.

Housing.
Government corruption/actually doing some work for the people they serve
Education, particularly SEND
Economic growth
Nationalisation of rail, water and energy
NHS

Knowing what a woman is and anti woke/immigration is at the very bottom of the list, in fact it's not even on it.
