What are the main issues in the election?
The main issues are generally the same as at previous elections: economy, health, education, immigration, housing and foreign policy. For some parties such as the Green Party single issues such as the environment tend to dominate. UKIP focus on leaving the EU and controlling immigration. While the SNP and Plaid Cymru want independence for their countries.

The Manifestoes Of the Parties
Manifesto means to make public. Each party produces a booklet which outlines the promises they intend to put before the electorate. Whether they stick to these promises or not when in government is another matter. The Labour politician Peter Shore once famously described a manifesto as "a party's moral contract with the people".

Some of the key questions which politicians will try to answer in the election are:

The national debt is still massive, how will your party reduce it?
What cuts in public spending is your party planning?
How will you ensure that education is protected?
What is your party going to do to control immigration?
Global warming will continue to cause massive problems with world-wide weather patterns. What is your party going to do about fossil fuel emissions?
Why is leaving the EU a good idea?
What is your party going to do about stopping the extreme violence in Syria and neighbouring countries?
How can young people afford homes of their own if house prices keep rising?
