In my family we have been discusing the General Elections, my father shared with us that he would like to vote and to be elected the Conservative party whom is lead by David Cameron, the reason my father would like to vote for the Conservatives is because, when the Conservatives took over the country and by that I mean powered, when the country was in resession and was stuggling quite badly. Today 2015, the country has improved in terms of the resession, and my father believes that if the Conversatives continue to power the United Kingdom, the resession and the United Kingdom could increase in improvement therefore if another Party took over and lead the country things could change quite dramatically. In my opinion, as I'm not old enough to vote I only wish the best for the United Kingdom and the parties that win the most votes that they do help to improve and continue powering how the Conservatives have. My mother had a different opinion although she didn't vote due to that she's resident in Spain.
