Strangford voters say politicians 'could do better'

Health is the main priority for members of the public in Northern Ireland's Strangford constituency, taking part in our groundbreaking 5000 Voices project.

Matt, 33, who works in finance, said "Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK need to get back on track. For the last few years, we've had political stalemate with politicians not working. It needs to get back on track for the people because we have a crumbling NHS system with resources which have not been used as they should be. We need competent leadership.

And of Keir Starmer, he said: "I don't trust him either. I don't trust either of them. They are so involved with who's going to run the party and who is going to be in power, that the people don't count. I don't know who I'll vote for because one's as bad as the other. Joe Clydesdale, 82, speaking from Newtownards, Co Down said more money needs to be spent on the NHS, targeted to reduce waiting lists and pay for extra staff to get the waiting lists down.
