Letter to MP

&nbsp Dear Mr Freer,

I am a constituent of yours and am currently campaigning with the V.O.T.E. group, which aims to encourage the youth to vote. As it has been shown that young people are disaffected with politics and do not turn out in high numbers at elections we advocate certain measures that we believe will remedy this problem. For example, introducing politics as a comulsory subject from Year 7 will benefit young people in that it will engage young people and will make them more politcally aware. Also lowering the voting age from 18 to 16 will be beneficial we believe. If 16 year olds can legally get married and have children, why can they not vote and decide on the nation's future? We would like you to raise these issues to your party leaders and the coalition government as a whole and also possibly meet you at your surgery to discuss these issues.

Thanking You,

Uriel Roth
