almost 2 years agoI really enjoyed this event! It was awsome and was really pleased that I came. I learnt a lot of things that I would never ever ever had had the opportunity to! And all thanks to V.... Hannah was great too, could listen to hear all day! Fab event, thumbs up!!
I am tremendously disappointed at the result regarding the Alternative Vote. The No campaign engaged in shameful misinformation tactics - including the use of emotional blackmail (This baby needs intensive care units, NOT AV). Furthermore both sides played fast and loose with the facts, without focusing purely on the issue at hand. I also feel there was a large underestimation of the intelligence... Read more

about 2 years agoThanks Emma - great points. What does everyone think? Our poll pre the day was the reverse of what the results were predicted to be. Do you think the outcome was a fair reflection of young people's opinions? Did you vote?

about 2 years agoI think the result was a fair reflection of young people's opinions. generally though, the campaign for both YES and NO to AV didn't go down too well. people either confused about what they were voting for or not satisfied with either option.

My polling station is at our local pub so it's a nice excuse to head down with a bunch of neighbours and bond over a little community spirit! Wouldn't say that voting particularly whet any of our whistles though....

I have voted since I was 18, but for no reason really; I don't believe it will make any difference, or that I'll be letting anyone down if I don't, and I don't think I've ever thought any of the candidates would be any good. The AV referendum might be more interesting.
Emma Croft
I truly believe that even though I vote, politicians are not interesting in representing either me or the majority of young voters. I hope that AV will give as an opportunity to be listened to.
