On the other hand youngsters are notoriously difficult to get interested in politics, and we do need to engage with them or else we get an electorate that doesn't understand the systems we live by. We don't seem to have a lot of voters who really care one way or the other at times and that is quite sad and lumbers us with some of the tripe we get. It seems to me if you're old enough to vote, get married and die for your country then you're old enough to stand for election. The proviso being of course that you want to get that involved and are not being leaned on by an overly ambitious father. |
