If you spend a little time deciding who to vote for in local Council and central Government elections, this could end up making your family better off by hundreds or thousands of dollars each year.
Instead of voting for a well-known name or the person you find most attractive, you should vote for the candidate or political party whose actions are likely to help you the most.
If it is difficult to work out who will best serve your interests, remember that throughout the world politicians on the left are mainly concerned with looking after people on low and middle incomes, the environment and social justice. Politicians on the right are mainly concerned with looking after businesses, farmers and those receiving high incomes.
