{UAH} I’m canvassing for Labour – even though, as a Swede, I can’t vote in this election | Susanna Kierkegaard
'Having grown up in Sweden, I already know some of Jeremy Corbyn's proposed policies can work. I've benefited from free school lunches, have had access to university without tuition fees, and received free dental checkups into my 20s.
Despite having access to all these things back home, I chose to come to the UK in 2014 to do my degree at Oxford University.....However, the cultural difference was shocking as I got a glimpse of the class divide in Britain and what life outside the Scandinavian welfare model looks like.People were sleeping rough all over the city. My fellow students often needed counselling to help cope with the financial stress caused by debt, tuition fees and high living costs. Mental health problems and anxiety were more the rule than the exception.'
