Tayla’s Thought of the Day
Apr 12
Today, Monday 12th April, 2010, me and Alex went to Bromsgrove to take part in a politics discussion for BBC radio 5 live. Politicians had representatives from each of the leading parties and a representative from scottish parliament. Many issues were raised in the debate, such as, the expences scandals, lowering the voting age and how to restore trust in politicians. There were 200 people there all who wanted to get across their views and ask their questions about what they were passionate about when it comes to politics.I througholy enjoyed the debate as it opened my eyes to a lot of issues surrounding politics. I also felt that through out the debate it became more apparent that young people have a more optimistic outlook on politics. Views that were raised, particularly surrounding the voting age, I think would be appropriate to raise in cabinet meetings to see if there are improvements that can be made by the Worcestershire Youth Cabinet. To conclued, the debate was very enjoyful, I learnt alot and feel some of the things said could benefit the youth cabinet.
