Make law and politics a core study in high school; like maths, English & science
As the popular proverb suggests "knowledge is power."Thus, it seems to me our electorate is powerless!
We complain about the turnout for elections and that people don't really understand the political and legal systems (especially 18 to 24s). So let's do something about it
Quite often in elections less than 50% of young people between the ages of 18 & 24 actually vote. Furthermore, it is often less than 70% of eligible voters who actually vote.
In the general election 2015, 43% of 18 to 24s voted and only 66% of all eligible voters cast a vote. This is not good enough.
