OK, there probably will be some young people who aren’t interested in politics, but on the whole I’d argue that we’re more involved than a lot of other age groups. That’s because it’s going to have an immediate effect on our future. Many people claim that teenagers are only interested in social media and themselves, but I completely disagree with that viewpoint. The general public might change their mind if we had more opportunity for discussion or making our own decisions. I think youth organizations could have more say in the way local councils are run. That might make more people want to join them. We ought to have an active youth parliament that takes some responsibility for what happens to us.

On the whole, people who run the country are probably doing a good job, but public opinion is that you can’t trust them. I think one of the biggest issues must be how citizenship is taught. There are so many educational opportunities to encourage people to get involved. People need to know how they can vote for change or make a difference. They also need to understand electoral law. Another issue is the way political leaders behave. If they used more respectful language when they talked about each other, people might give them more respect, too.

For me, politics is extremely important. And voting is a huge part of that. It’s your opportunity to make constructive feedback, to tell the people in control what you think of the way they’ve been running the country. I’m totally in favour of lowering the voting age I believe that we need to consider young people and their views. Without their involvement, we’re going to miss their ideas and energy. I’d like to make it legal for all over 16s to vote. Students today are the citizens of tomorrow. It would be stupid not to listen to their views seriously.

It’s all about making laws to support big business, isn’t it? I don’t think they serve communities like ours at all. If you’re young, and you have no money, politicians don’t care about you. Especially young people from round here. This is a poor area, with a high crime rate. There are lots of break-ins, and the police can’t do much about it. If government really cared, they could have invested here a long time ago. We need more police, better schools. But politicians just don’t make changes that help. That’s why I don’t get involved in voting.

It’s all about making laws to support big business, isn’t it? You read about that in the papers every day. Politicians don’t do enough for normal people. I don’t think they serve us at all. If you’re young, and you have no money, politicians don’t care about you. Especially young people from round here. This is a poor area, with a high crime rate. There are lots of break-ins, and the police can’t do much about it. If government really cared, they could have helped communities like ours a long time ago. We need more police, better schools... But they just don’t understand us, or don’t want to know. That’s why I don’t get involved in voting.

Among my friends there’s not a great deal of interest in politics. It might be that people feel that whatever happens they aren’t really listened to. The media paints a pretty negative picture of politicians, too. On the whole they are probably doing a good job, but public opinion is that you can’t trust the people who run the country. I think one of the biggest issues must be how citizenship is taught. There are lots of educational opportunities. More could be done to encourage students getting involved, voting for change, making a difference, understanding electoral law. Another issue is the way politicians behave. If they used more respectful language when they talked about each other, people might give them more respect, too.
