Rejected petition Add UK Poliltics as a core & foundation subject on the national curriculum.

Following the EU referendum result to leave & also that only 16% of 18-24 vote in general elections in the UK I feel Poliltics should be taught in mainstream education in the UK. I believe this would help young adults understand their vote and not vote the same party's as their parents do.
