    The Truth About Why Young People Need To Vote

    Only 44% of 18-24 year olds voted in the general election in 2010. Students hold the key to the next general election, but if you're not registered to vote you can't make it count. So here's why you should vote:

    You might feel like your vote won't make a difference

    It seems like politicians only like older people

    And no matter how excited you are about what the future holds, reality always smacks you in the face

    Well, that's because less than half of 18-24 year olds voted in the last General Election...

    ...but if more students voted, young people would really have the power to make politicians listen!

    But to use that power, you have to be registered to vote

    Russell Brand was wrong to say voting is pointless...

    ...because students have the numbers to change the outcome of the next election!

    So if you're shocked by the amount of student debt you're going to be stuck with...

    If you're tired of internships that don't pay you anything...

    Or if you think politicians shouldn't cut the Disabled Students Allowance...

    ...make your vote count!

    You don't have to feel like politicians don't care about you

    And you don't have to feel like the world's on top of you

    If you all make your vote count, how can politicians ignore you?
