remember: a vote for us is a vote for a safe, secure future, without the fear of
unemployment. It is a vote for you and for your family.
as a result also so for instance
Candidate 2: We are tired of the same old empty promises and we have many
reasons to be tired. (1) _____ , there is less unemployment because this
government has forced the unemployed to take low-paid jobs with no job security.
This government has made it impossible to claim social security, (2) _____ the
‘Back to work programme’ and the subsidized child care for working mothers. (3)
_____ there is the fear to be fired. Our economy works because people are so
afraid of losing their jobs that they are working more hours, and not getting paid
overtime. (4) _____ , the cost of health care and education has become so high
that 40% of the country have virtually no proper health care and can’t afford to
send their children to university. Ladies and gentlemen, we can stop complaining
about being tired, and we can wake up to a new reality, by voting for the
opposition.

I spent a couple of days asking young people in the Manchester and London area
how they felt about party politics. I spoke to 11 twenty-somethings and only one
had voted in the last general election. Here’s some of their comments;
‘To be honest I’m not too bothered. I don’t keep up with developments at
Westminster [the site of UK government]. These days my job, my cash flow and
socialising are more important!’
Tom, 28, from Manchester.
