Krishnan in Channel4's snowmails addresses an issue I have been banging on about for years
Teenagers in charge
===================
"The current way of doing politics is killing politics." That's the
stark assessment of our democracy by an inquiry set up to consider how to
re-engage voters with the political process.
The Power Inquiry says the record low turnouts in the last two general
elections, and falling memberships of political parties, are symptoms
of an ailing democracy. Among other recommendations, it suggests
16-year-olds should be able to vote and stand for Parliament.
We'll be bringing together a bunch of sixteen year olds to see what
Britain would be like if they were in charge.
