Digestible Politics: Rife Jargon Buster
Over the last few weeks, you may’ve seen a lot of political jargon.
Digestible Politics: Infographic Breakdown
Still unsure about how each political party promises to make your life as prosperous and fulfilling as possible? Yero Timi-Biu breaks down the policies affecting young people from manifestos released by the Conservatives, Green, Labour, Liberal Democrats and UKIP.
As promised, we’ve looked at the core issues affecting young people today and dissected the main parties’ manifestos. The issues include education and further development (internships and apprenticeships, personal income and housing).
As noted in Digestible Politics: Why Your Voice Matters, many parties and followers veer towards one or two main issues, this means that other issues for specific demographics (such as young people) aren’t labelled as a priority.
Just so we don’t give you a headache, I made some infographics to highlight the key promises from the major parties:

About the author
Yero Timi-Biu
Yero is a 22-year-old writer-director for TV and film and former (self-professed) serial intern. She took a detour through fashion when at aged 16, she took part in a documented internship with BBC Blast, where 10 teenagers had 6 months to create and showcase a fashion label. Subsequently, she then went on to study a Fashion Communication degree in London and graduated in 2013. Yero has recently returned to the UK after 3 months in New York, where she attended a Screenwriting workshop. With a keen interest in broadcast, Yero has always been interested in using writing, film and audio as a form of creating conversations, tackling the stigma of talking about social issues, as well as documenting and promoting underrepresented people in society. She is especially interested in raising awareness of mental health issues, long-term illnesses and encouraging well being, (especially within young people who may want to pursue a creative career).
