..there is no point really in just giving a form when young people go to college/uni, Arista...and say, put down your cross...there are some young people who wouldn't know enough to make an informed choice and through no fault of their own...all that does is to try to encourage voting numbers but for any which way party...oh, I'll vote like me mam and dad/like me friends etc...?...so yes, there is everything wrong with that in a way and in all of the right ways imo...politics should be a National Curriculum subject in it's own right and taught (to each level of understanding...)..from Primary School age...we do cover it in our school but as time isn't specifically given to it, only in a relatively 'bite size' type way...


..if someone were to stop you in the street Arista and say...sign this petition/vote for this to happen/for it to stop happening/for change etc....would you sign it without feeling informed at what you're signing because I wouldn't...I don't think it's a 'time' thing, young people would find time if they had the information needed...
