I get so annoyed when people say that young people are just not interested in politics - of course they are! The growing momentum of My Life My Say shows that young people have lots of contributions to make to politics and should be listened to.
Of course we must not confuse this enthusiasm with young people liking politicians, but one step at a time. It is important that we work together to keep this momentum and debate happening on this website, as it will show politicians that young people want to be taken seriously and have important contributions to make.
