Petition Teaching Government and Politics from Year 7 a national curriculum requirement.

The government have hinted that they wish to give 16 year olds the vote. However most younger people like myself didn't know about how the government works and what the parties represent. Even without the age change younger people need to understand why they should vote and what they are voting for.
