As the general election campaign reaches its final day, we met voters in the Nottingham East constituency
As the General Election campaign reaches its final day after six dramatic weeks, we have been out meeting more voters and finding out what they think of it all as part of our 5,000 voices project. This time we visited Nottingham city centre, part of the Nottingham East constituency.
We also asked people what they thought of Sir Keir Starmer. One unimpressed voter called the Labour leader “a waste of space", while another said they believed his humble background was an asset. William Abbot Butcher, 22, recently finished his studies in games production. He said the most important issues are cost of living and education. He said: “I think education in regards to the arts is being put on the back burner again.
Rachel Boughton, 23, disagrees. She believes the Prime Minister's wealth makes him unfit to govern in the interests of the average person: “He is a literal billionaire. How can you call yourself a person of the people and make decisions that impact a whole country when you yourself are a billionaire."
