Increase education about our political system in compulsory schooling.

Background

Educate young people on baseline understanding of the political system within their years in compulsory education. This means FPTP, the impact of recent political decisions, how our politicians are restricted etc, and how we can engage in democracy, even without voting.

Additional details

Too many young people misunderstand our political system, and therefore are unable to independently analyse policies put forward by parties, leading them to be easily manipulated by the media. Educate them and allow people to make informed choices, and increase security of democracy.
