ive never understood politics and when given a vote and three parties to choose from and no information to do so its difficult, children need to be taught about the parties more in school so when given the vote they can use it effectivly in my opinion anyway
it’s difficult to teach politics in compulsory education as teachers have to be completely impartial, from the BNP to the Communist party. it doesn’t sound hard but certainly some of the political discussions we’ve had in our backward-Tory opinionated school (the kids/parents, not teachers), some of the things naive kids can come out with can be very difficult to be impartial to…
although as kaito says, i have not really “lived” under a tory government (well, technically i have, but i was 7 when labour got into power) however a small bit of research can give even someone without a clue about politics 1000 reasons why they shouldn’t vote Tory.
i know it’s down to each individual, but tbh although i wouldn’t vote Labour now, i would never even consider voting Tory… remember the Criminal Justice Act 1994?
