Personally, I think there will be a lot of apethathy with young voters in this election, disregarding people don’t put alot of weight to local elections either way.
I think for those who this is their first time voting, who have grown up with a national government that has always been Labour, and this Co-alition government at the moment, I completely understand exactly why they would feel apethetic.
BUT, this is also an important time for young people to get involved.
I myself am only 18, hopefully the fact that young people can see a young candidate, will inspire them to get involved, at least I hope so!
I’ve noticed a few younger candidates emerging for these elections and it’s very encouraging to see. Out of interest what made you decide to put yourself forward for election?
