The General Election is less than four days away. Aoife Hogan went out to speak to students ahead of the Union’s hustings, and on the streets of the city.

The results of Varsity’s election poll, released yesterday, found overwhelming support for the Labour Party among undergraduate students.

The race is expected to be tight between the Liberal Democrat candidate, Julian Huppert, and Labour’s Daniel Zeichner, who won in 2015.

The seat was won by just 599 votes last time, so all eyes are on a narrow race.

Varsity is the independent newspaper for the University of Cambridge, established in its current form in 1947. In order to maintain our editorial independence, our print newspaper and news website receives no funding from the University of Cambridge or its constituent Colleges.

We are therefore almost entirely reliant on advertising for funding and we expect to have a tough few months and years ahead.

In spite of this situation, we are going to look at inventive ways to look at serving our readership with digital content and of course in print too!

Therefore we are asking our readers, if they wish, to make a donation from as little as £1, to help with our running costs. Many thanks, we hope you can help!
