I know I've quoted my own post but its relevant to what I want to add.
If we bring down the vote then we need to be careful that its not open to corruption.
It has to be that Teachers within state and privately run schools can't influence votes and there can't be politically prepared pre-election campaigns taking place within schools.
There has to be more education on national politics/economics because without this, most of the state run schools won't bother to go and vote whilst all of the private schools will.
