Question: Apathy towards political parties - especially with young people - has been regarded as a key issue in this election - why are young people apathetic towards political parties?

Tony Blair: It's vital young people realise the importance of this election. As politicians we need to show the link between politics and change on the issues which matter most to people. And that's what we are working hard to do.

And voting does change things even if not as fast as you - and I - would like. People should not fall for this nonsense peddled that all parties are the same and who is in Government doesn't make any difference. If people hadn't voted Labour in 1997, Britain wouldn't have a minimum wage to tackle poverty pay. We wouldn't have banned handguns or landmines. Britain wouldn't be giving the lead in the world on tackling third world debt or global warming. A million children wouldn't have been lifted out of poverty. The New Deal, opposed by both the Tories and the Lib-Dems, wouldn't have helped cut youth unemployment.

One day, young people will want to buy a house, so low mortgages - half the rate of the Tory years - matter to them. When they leave college, they will want a job so the fact that unemployment is the lowest for 25 years matters. And one day, no matter how healthy they now are, they will need health care and will be thankful for a well-funded health service or good schools for their children. For a Government which puts schools and hospitals first. These are the vital choices on Thursday

Question: You want to convince people to come out and vote on Thursday but looking to the longer term - what will you be doing after this election to engage young people with the Labour Party?

Tony Blair: We will continue to address the issues that concern them. We will retain and extend the New Deal to help cut youth unemployment; we will work hard on Third World debt relief; and we will continue to implement our environmental policies - rightly an area of concern to many of today's young people. Just as importantly, we will continue to expand university education, cement the economic stability which is essential to future jobs and prosperity, and invest in the public services which all people, young and old, are dependent upon.

Question: What's at stake if political parties fail to re-engage the public?

Tony Blair: No one should fall for the Tory ploy that voting doesn't matter. This election is vital for the country's future. And what's at stake is the future of our schools, hospitals, environment and public transport system. The choice is clear: either Britain goes forward with Labour, with new investment in schools and hospitals or backwards with the Tories and their £20bn of cuts to our vital public services. It is our job as politicians to make sure the public understand this crucial choice.

Question: You've made it easier to opt for a postal vote in this election - but could you see a day where there is an option to vote electronically in a general election? (if so, how far off is this?)

Tony Blair: I am always interested in new ways to make people engage with politics and get involved in general elections. But we must make sure that any new developments are safe and secure.

Question: Have you been using the internet during this election campaign - if so, which sites have you visited?

Tony Blair: I have been a bit too busy out campaigning to log-on much, but the Internet is a very useful tool for getting our message across to millions of users. And the Labour Party takes every opportunity to publicise its policies and values.
