This is a Superb BBC guide to all the parties in the UK General election and what their views are on particular issues. This may be useful for any young new voters.
 This is a great BBC guide to the key words that are used during an election. From Constituency to Coalition this is essential
 It is clear now more than ever that the pacts are out in the upcoming election. The UUP is not fielding a candidate in North Belfast in the hope of securing a Unionist (DUP) MP in the very tight seat contested with Sinn Fein. However, the SDLP has not put up a candidate in North Belfast which then favours Sinn Fein. The DUP seem to be allowing the UUP to try and win Tyrone and they are not putting a candidate forward there to help this cause. The SDLP and Sinn Fein have made the unprecedented decision not to field three candidates in various constituencies. Power is certainly being tactically carved up.
 The House of Commons has a new Speaker - SIR LYNDSAY HOYLE. He takes over from John Bercow who was a much respected but controversial Speaker. Sir Lyndsay has been Deputy Speaker for many years and brings lots of experience to a job which needs it more than ever.
