But many other students are apathetic. I think it's because too many people of my age are turned off by sleaze, or we feel patronised. Basically, they see no difference between the parties. A lot of us remain students well into our 20s. We don't feel part of that world that politicians keep going on about.
Parliament has no direct influence on our daily lives.
Education is the main issue as far as I am concerned. More young people should be encouraged into politics. Currently, there is no one our age to relate to. Lowering the age from 21 for candidates to stand at elections might help. Maggie Fox agrees with this critical perspective on young people's lack of political engagement.
