Rejected petition To make politics a compulsory subject on the national curriculum

In the UK we have a right to vote, this right often gets taken for granted because of the lack of education around it. People don't know how to speak to their local politicians, most people don't even know who their local politicians are. Our children MUST be educated as their future depends on it.

More details

I make this petition to ask the government to consider making politics a compulsory subject on the national curriculum.

This is so very important and I ask you to please sign for the future of our children and this Great United Kingdom.

Thank you.
