Thank god they have all gone and the right party is running our country.

I'm a 15 year old who's getting into politics, and it has been fascinating to see all of the events unfold. Like others have said, I'm lucky enough to be in a good position, with a good home and family, community and education. Others aren't so lucky, and I hope this Tory government do think about these issues, and reconsider points of view about tuition fees, for example. We're an economy moving away from crisis, and soon I hope this issues, as well as others are raised and taken with lots of thought by the government for all.

So who do we think Mr Cameron will give the poisoned chalice to?.... As Secretary of State for Scotland.
