May 7 th is an important day for the people of England because they get to vote for a new political party that will become our government. Anyone that is a British citizen (over 18) can vote in the election. They write down who they would like to pick on a piece of paper and post it – this is called a ballot paper.

The people themselves should vote to choose their favourite political party and who they want in power. Most people vote in person at a Polling Station. However, if you are not able to go to the Polling Station in person on election day, you can apply to vote by post.

Healthy environment are another party who will help support hospital expenses for sick adults and children who need our help now. How would you like it if you were in their shoes so please help them. We will be making a charity for them because we need to give them medicines to help stay alive.

Imagine your child could have free access to the internet only by paying 20p extra on your taxes. We believe your children should get better facilities for less money. We could help them by accessing YouTube, Google and more educational resources which they could do their work on. The taxes and the VAT will help raise six billion pounds for the facilities we wanting to provide.
