Cardiff Central: The price tag of regeneration and renewal - Politics.co.uk

On the wristband wagon - Guardian - students, NUS, fees and voting:

In the Lib Dems' sights is Cardiff Central, with a precarious Labour majority of 659 and a large student presence in the Cathays district of the city (though tuition fees in Cardiff will not, in fact, be set by Westminister but by the Welsh assembly in 2007).

The student swing - Guardian - The bright young things of the marginal Cardiff seat of Cathays have found themselves to be a valuable political commodity, writes Sam Friedman:

Students are a key target again in this campaign, especially for Ms Willott, who wants to capitalise on opposition to tuition and top-up fees.

But whether students vote at all, not whom they vote for, could prove the most pressing issue. "Apathy is still pretty rife", says Gary Rees, the president of the Cardiff University student union. He says the union must run a "high visibility campaign" if it is to attract students to the polls.

"We realised, after the top-up fees demonstration last January, that to try and get students interested we must attempt a 'politics is sexy' approach, combining traditional methods with some stunts - perhaps using some scantily clad ladies or something," he says.
