A Solomon Mbeke
For me, politics is very important. And voting is a huge part
of that. It’s your opportunity to make constructive feedback,
to tell the people in control what you think of the way they’ve
been running the country. I’m totally in favour of lowering the

point of view, but I believe that we need to consider young
people Without their involvement, we’re going to lose out on
their ideas and energy. I’d like to make it legal for all over
16s to vote. Students today are the citizens of tomorrow. It
would be stupid not to listen to their views seriously.
