Make politics a mandatory humanities subject in secondary schools
To stop the confusion of the future generations with the way our political system is run. Enabling them to have a political opinion and engage with politics in multiple ways e.g. General elections and referendums.
Turnout for the youngest generations has been decreasing dramatically over the years- 43% in 2015

Some do not vote, for the reason that they do not understand politics and what they are casting a vote for. With studying politics in secondary school, this will be settled. The youngest generations will be able to go through their lives with knowledge on political issues and what surrounds it.
