UK voters' panel: Immigration

Throughout the election campaign we are asking a panel of 20 voters to share their views in text and in video, using 3G mobile phones and video cameras, ahead of the poll on 5 May.

Here, six of the panel give their opinions on how the parties are dealing with the issue of immigration.

Chris Li Bournemouth "I would prefer if the Tories kept their mouths shut" Watch message John Devenney Norwich "I like the Lib Dems' attempt to resolve it in a realistic way" Watch message Gerry Harris Glasgow "Howard reasonably says it should be discussed openly" Watch message

Tonia Barton Nelson "I hope that we can now have a grown up debate on this issue" Watch message David Jones Llansamlet, Wales "Illegal immigration is a matter for policing and control" Watch message Ayub Khan Batley "Labour and the Tories are to blame for the current mess" Watch message

The readers' panel has been selected from as wide a cross-section of people as possible and may not be representative of wider public opinion.
