Investing in services that we care about wouldn’t just be given lip service, it would have to be a reality.In a society where all young citizens vote, politics would be given the shake-up it desperately needs, with younger politicians getting elected, making parliament more diverse and bringing with them modern ideas and opinions. The end result would be a parliament that would be more innovative and willing to try out new things, implement better laws and overall make politics more accessible." leighvowles https://padlet.com/Johnprice/uaotce7u6ak9/wish/327226634 2019-02-04 10:50:02 UTC https://padlet.com/Johnprice/uaotce7u6ak9/wish/327226634 Are young people politically disengaged? leighvowles https://padlet.com/Johnprice/uaotce7u6ak9/wish/327227061
“People are politically disengaged if they do not know, value or participate in the democratic process. In the UK, political disengagement is more prevalent among certain groups than others. This paper considers which groups are considered to be politically disengaged, and why. Political disengagement can take different forms. This paper includes information on political attitudes that indicate political disengagement; levels of participation in political activities; political party membership; electoral registration; voting; and the number of councillors, candidates and MPs drawn from particular groups. Young people reported lower levels of knowledge about politics than other age groups. They were less likely than other age groups to participate in political activities, to be on the electoral register, and to vote. The average age of councillors, candidates and MPs is over 50.”
