1st Question Time at Sudbury Upper School

Wed 31st March saw the start of the campaign minus the UKIP candidate and Tim Yeo MP. Conservative County Cllr James Finch stood in at short notice for Mr Yeo.

The 1st time voters of Sudbury Upper Sixth Form offered a range of interesting questions featuring:
1. How would you keep university open to everyone on cost grounds.
2. Were people of privilege (and leaders such as Cameron) able to relate to people in poverty?
3. Was it right to go to war in Afghanistan and what are the policies for the future on this region?
4. What are your plans for the future of the NHS?
5. Was the recent budget a disaster? What were the main problems with it?

Thanks to the Headteacher Mr Forrest for chairing the Q&A and Nigel Brown, Head of Sixth Form for organising it. The debate was polite, good mannered and the questions were on the whole fully answered. I hope the audience thought so.

Feedback from my daughter has been really positive, her friends were telling her how they would be voting the next day. I'll just :)
