Introduction of non-military national service

Additional Information

It's well documented that people have little pride in their local communities and that we've become a nanny state.

It's my belief that if people were more involved in their local community that they'd respect it, leading to a drop in anti-social behaviour and crime, thereby engendering a sense of pride in local communities and the nation as a whole.

This e-petition would seek to introduce a single 6-month scheme for all those leaving school at the age of 16, ie after their GCSEs and before starting work/A-levels. People would spend 6 months in their local community helping the elderly, the infirm, children, cleaning the environment etc... In essence, improving the local community and giving something back.

At the end of the 6 months, they'd get a certificate and their name would be added to a register. Taking it to the next level would mean that those on the register are then entitled to vote and (if necessary) receive benefits.
