Here is the latest in our series of blogs by Glasgow students.

Liam Bruce is a student of journalism at GCU. Keen on politics and satire, he believes in free speech.

It's the most wonderful time of the year, if you're a member of the 'Westminster Village' that is. Today marks 33 days until the general election, 34 days of polls, speeches, and some more polls. For the likes of me, who finds all this electioneering fascinating, the next five weeks will be invigorating, culminating in Election Day. The idea of David Dimbleby's last election night programme in what will be the most unpredictable election for a generation is a little bit too exciting for words. But now I realise, I am insufferable. I am a political anorak, most of my jokes, puns or anecdotes are political - aside from the odd Still Game gag thrown in for good measure - and only a couple of my mates will appreciate the metaphors. For the rest it must be how I feel when someone brings 'One Direction' into a conversation, utter hopelessness. As much as I probably don't want to admit it, that apathy is the feeling across much of the country, particularly in my age group. I have been political most of my life, so I find it difficult to perceive those who have no interest or no knowledge in this stuff. Undoubtedly the biggest problem is within my age group, 18-24, only 41% of whom will vote in the election, according to YouGov. Yet there is a growing discontent in my peers that government doesn't do anything for us. We have to vote for it. There is a reason there is so much policy and rhetoric focused on pensioners, when over 85% of them turn out to vote. Why would an MP want to fight for youth's issues when none of them will vote to either support or remove them? My peers have disenfranchised themselves and that saddens me greatly. As I say, I have three close friends who are political and a fair few who will debate it with me, so I always have to come back to the facts, we - my peers, - aren't voting. There is a certain revolutionary out there, who holds great influence over my age group, who irresponsibly tells young people not to vote, not to take part. Certainly there may be a school of thought - that I do not subscribe to - that says if you don't believe in any candidate don't vote. Okay. But if you chose not to vote - as is your right - then I do not want to hear your whingeing complaints about the system in this country for the next five years. If you do not vote you have no right to complain. You threw away that right when you refused to do your civic duty. There maybe people, who don't yet know what to do with their vote. Firstly make sure you are registered online, then try and absorb as much of the election coverage - in the paper, online or on TV - as you can and if you still don't want to vote, at least go to the polling station and spoil your ballot, draw a cock and balls over the candidates names if you really want to, because even that sends a signal, even then your voice is heard. Across our history men and women have died to give you this right, and even now millions are fighting across the globe to have a say in their own future. We have this power, this right. We can change things, we really can, and all we have to do is vote.
