This whole labour thing allowing 16 year olds to vote because Labour think they will vote for them is going to backfire. They are currently 13 and have been listening for mohs to their Grandparents talking about how Labour took away their heating etc.

Make sure they get other viewpoints too

Teach them the importance of reaching their own conclusions. Not those of their family with no other viewpoint considered.

Nevertheless they will get influenced by social media, and school teachers. My eldest former drama school teacher has already had his 3 pence worth in..


I have said that Nigel Farage does need to watch his language and targets.
My Girls have friends who are either foreign born or have foreign parents.
They know my veiw on immigration and the people I like and dislike. Hence we have had plenty of conversation on the subject.

The best lessons you can give your kids is to seek out information for themselves, make their own decisions, and the confidence and courage to back themselves.

And not to kick off if they reach different conclusions than you have.
