We are all ( or should be) thinking about our children and grandchildren when deciding how to vote, But it would be madness to leave the decision entirely to the young. From what I see of some of the young people who use Facebook, most of them have not a clue, and don't want to have a clue. They can't decide what colour nail polish to wear, let alone the future of this country. That really worries me. My own grandchildren weren't the slightest bit interested in the EU, and knew nothing about it, but I have ensured that they know enough to make an informed decision. Sure , some young people are interested in politics, but most of them don't care. And we older folks have been around a while and have more life experiences behind us....I like to think that we are a little wiser.

I'd trust the wisdom and judgement of a forward-thinking, well-travelled, educated twentysomething over and above a reactionary, tabloid-reading pearl-clutcher who has led a sheltered life.
