The parties had to present their party’s views on some key issues we decided to fight the election over such as transport issues for teenagers, the war in Afghanistan, the economy and sustainable energy issues. All the parties had to decide their own particular angle: the Conservatives followed the Conservative party line, The Alliance looked at how policies particularly effect women, the Greens naturally looked at the environment and how policies might affect this and the International Socialist party took a European angle on the issues.

On the Thursday before polling we staged a question time attended by over 200 students and staff. There was claim and counterclaim and a very healthy debate.

And the winner, and duly elected member for Rendcomb? In joint third place with 52 votes each, The International Socialists and IWA, in second place with 89 votes the Greens and the winner with 120 votes Tom Margesson, the Conservative party representative; now is this prophetic...?
12 of those who took part will be taking a special trip in June for a guided tour of the House of Commons to see how it is done for real.
