0:00:44 > 0:00:47Well, if someone sends you a nasty message,

0:00:54 > 0:00:56If it is safe to reply, you can calmly explain
0:00:56 > 0:00:59why it has upset you, but it can be better
0:00:59 > 0:01:01to just not respond at all.
0:01:01 > 0:01:07Remember, you can block or report the person to moderators.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09Another option is to just turn off the chat.

0:02:25 > 0:02:30They put a cross next to the person they most want to represent them.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34The candidate who gets the most votes becomes MP.
