Students in Cardiff say there's one thing that would sway their vote

Students in Cardiff have shared what will decide their vote in the lead-up to the general election. We visited Cathays, where thousands of students live in proximity to the city's universities, to find out which policies were important to them.

The Green Party have pledged to reduce to support every higher education student with the restoration of grants and the end of tuition fees. We asked if this would impact their decision when it came to voting - and for many, the answer was yes.

Niamh Day, 22, who is doing a Law conversion course after studying an undergraduate degree at Cardiff University felt her teaching didn't match up to the price of her fees.

"£9,000 a year is an obscene rate," she said. "A lot of students felt as though scraping tuition fees would allow more people, who are put off by the price, to attend university."

Laura Hogg, a 21-year-old Politics student, said: "I think abolishing fees would encourage people from more disadvantaged backgrounds to seek higher education."

Students were also keen to point out how it differs in Scotland, and how in many European countries higher education is free.

Josh Lewis, a third year English student, said he was thinking of studying in Europe next year due to lower or non-existent tuition fees and he expects a lot of other students to do the same thing.

This will be the first time a lot of students have been able to vote in a general election and they are keen to make sure their voices are heard on issues such as the environment, the NHS, funding of public services and the cost-of-living crisis.

Both Miranda Baines, 22, and Henrietta Pritchard, 22, said the environment is their main concern heading into the election. "I'm really keen on environmental change and working towards a more sustainable UK," said Miss Baines. Watch the video in full above
