A few days ago, I attended a youth seminar organised by my local town council.To cut a long story short, we (the attendees of the seminar) raised issues about all sorts of things - including ID cards for under 16s so that you can't be charged extorcionate prices for movies, etc. This got me thinking: if that wasn't organised by the council, how could we have made that suggestion? We couldn't.
The fact is that society ignores young people until they are 18 - then suddenely they are expected to cast a votes on a certain political party? No wonder voters are dwindling.
So, I suppose, my question is not why is my opinion refused, but why is it not embraced?
After all - I am the future...
