“It’s vital that the information given to voters includes what each party has *actually done* and not just what they say they intend to.” – Fiona, Aberdeen

“Voter apathy is a big issue, voters need to feel like their vote will actually make a difference. Obvious spin and dirty tricks should be highlighted wherever it happens, and it should not just be allowed to quietly fade away after it’s been highlighted.” – Mark, Inverclyde

“We have a real chance to make history and change politics in this country, or at least get the ball rolling on greater representation of constituents .” – Amanda, Glasgow

“Personally I think its time the people were reminded that this government is ours and that we need to stand up and be counted to remind the politicians that they are supposed to work for us not the other way around!” – Nicola, Bannockburn
