Taking your pick: General Election 2010

If it hadn't quite clicked already, this General Election is important; not just for the country as a whole, but for you too. As Imperial students, under- or postgraduate, you are the next generation of scientists, engineers, doctors and businessmen of the UK (if not the world). Graduating from a 'world-class' university certainly sets your bar high for career aspirations, and the fields of academia or business you'll be leading will either suffer or prosper under the new Government to be formed on May 7th. Hence, this General Election may have a significant bearing on all Imperial students graduating in the coming years.

As much as you protest, your days as a student will come to an end. Finding yourself knee-deep in the mire that is the job market may come as a shock to the system, but at least this General Election will allow you to have some say in how painful or delightful this shock may be.
