More details
We think teaching the fundamentals of British politics and how to vote are vital to producing informed voters. We would like every young person to learn, as a compulsory part of the curriculum, the basics of British politics and how to vote. These materials already exist as part of the resources from the UK parliament education department. Government intervention could ensure the consistency of experience and understanding of British politics across Britain for all future voters.
