personally health and education come first, as in reforming them, and removing inefficiencies and then increasing useful funding
and even with tuition fees coming in, the government continuing to fund most of the fees as they do at moment, and increasing that with inflation so the universities dont go into debt, and scrapping 50% target, and increasing vocational job placements etc and also finding a way to limit social sciences placements, for subjects like psychology and media studies, but definetly doing that for A Levels as 3 A Levels in Media, film and photograpthy cany have any real use
removing the anti terroism laws
decriminaling drugs possesion but not dealing, and increasing treatment places to well over 100,000 - i wish
and secondry schools having things which students have to do to include english, maths, language, at least single science and no student can be denied a double science place, and having them forced to do subjects of different groups like "arts", "sciences", "vocational"
turning all railway companies into competing not for profit organisations
and praying for david blunketts departure as home secretery and hope ID cards never come in and no more privacy taken away
The Military
Secondary Education(especially yrs 10+11)
Higher Education
Council Tax
National Security, not against Terrorism in particular but from threats like flooding, power outages, fuel crises etc.
Either way first and foremost the most important is Foreign Policies.
Secondly it's health and education (they are the same for me).
- Public services (health, education, transport)
- Environment
Transport (upgrade the Kilmarnock-Dumfries railway line now!)
Europe (In, not run by)
so like a national infrastructure safety initiative
interesting idea
ps any one else see the raving mad lunatic party or something like that running in one of the recent by-elections, vote for him next time around.
if they ever stand in my area i will vote for them

Personally, my number one overiding issue is not surprisingly health. Not just because I work in the sector, but because I can see a way forward which would be snatched away if another party came into power now. We need some stability and a change of Govt will not help.
TBH Foreign Policy is very low on my list. Very very low. Partly because the only other party likely to be elected really wouldn't have done much different to the current one.
Anyone (Matadore ) who thinks that spending cuts and privatisation will help the UK economy has clearly been asleep for the past 20-odd years and has missed the fact that it was this policy in the 80s which had left the public services (and the utilities) in such a mess.
