Thank you for voting in the general election.
Students across the country turned out in their millions to make their voice heard to ensure that students can not be ignored by politicians.
Before the election we were trying to find out where parliamentary candidates stood on the issue of fees and education funding. We managed to get almost 1,500 candidates to sign NUS’ pledge – a fantastic amount.
The election may be over but our campaign, Funding Our Future will continue and we will be holding the new MPs to account making sure they fulfil their commitment to the NUS pledge.
Over the next week we’ll be:
- Working with the Electoral Commission to confirm the numbers of students who voted;
- Writing to the Secretary of State to highlight our position on a variety of student related issues, this will be important in influencing whichever government we face at the start of their term;
- Asking you to email your new MP to let them know that university fees is a priority for you in the year ahead.
Thanks for all your work so far on the Funding Our Future campaign we couldn’t have done it without you.
