#GE2017: Your main election issue - housing?

Education? Housing? The NHS? What should politicians be talking about to swing your vote?

5 live spoke to a troupe of performers who say housing is the biggest issue for them in the upcoming general election.

Gabrielle, 25, says buying a house was the hardest process she鈥檚 been through, while Carly, 23, says keeping up with the cost of renting means buying is a long way off.

鈥淚 can鈥檛 afford to move out on my own, even the smallest of studios are expensive, so houseshares are really the only option,鈥 said Carly.

鈥淭he problem is that rent is already high anyway, but when you add on bills and tax, there are months where I鈥檓 not sure how I am going to keep up,鈥 added Emily, 26.
