Rejected petition Make politics a core curriculum subject in all state secondary schools

More details

I have heard people stating they won't vote because 'they're all the same' and others choosing to vote extremist parties on the back of news headlines or one statement they've heard. We need to tackle voting apathy and create interest in politics in the state system so that tomorrows voters can vote with confidenceand true knowledge of who they are voting for and why.
