Most will probably just watch Jezza Kyle and Judge Judy repeats on ITV2 instead.
I don't think enough is done in getting younger people to vote, it seems like all the attention to get younger people to vote seems to go to the ones who already have some knowledge on it and will vote but could be just a case of not decided which party to vote for. There seems to have been nothing much aimed at getting the likes of me interested in voting, it's just a bunch of people saying "young people, voting matters" that gives me zero help, I have very little understanding about what is actually going on right now and what it all really means.
I hoping these posts don't make me sound thick or anything but I am getting headache just thinking about this. I wish I was more interested and knowledgeable but it's just not there which is a shame.
