This year Olivia can vote in a general election for the first time. But who should she vote for? If only politicians would home in on the things she really cares about!

Cracking crime. They are mostly not in favour of harsh punishments, but 38% think the death penalty is the right penalty for some crimes. The figure for adults in general is almost the same: 41%.

Dope hope. 80% are in favour of legalising cannabis and 63% believe it should be sold through licensed shops; 17% think there should be no restrictions.

Health wealth. They would like the government to spend more on the NHS, but only 40% are in favour of higher taxes to pay for this.

Property proprietors. 81% would buy a home if they could, but 78% expect property in their local area to become even more expensive in the next 10 years.
