The bid to lure the youth vote has yet to begin. Voters aged 18-24 seem to fall into a political crevice, somewhere between the political rhetoric about cute young kiddies deserving better school meals and more sporting activities and the needs of their "hard working" adult parents.
A survey published today by Rainer, a charity providing support to vulnerable 10 to 25-year-olds found more than half (55%) of those old enough to vote had no intention of doing so. Of those who did, the majority had no idea which party to pick. Go figure.
Would it help if politicians remembered their existence during manifesto addresses other than for their "yob" value and eligibility for Asbos? Steady on.
