Young people do not vote because, they do not understand politics. They do not understand how it affects them. Why is this? How can our young public not know how, why and who to vote for? They attend 13 years of schooling... So what does 13 years of schooling prepare these students for? 
     
        13 years of schooling leaves our youth with a very basic and cloudy knowledge of many unimportant and easily forgetable topics. To many minuites, hours, and days are wasted in our 13 year schooling system. This wasted time embraces and teaches young people to be lazy. The wasted time should be focused on giving students additional guidance on what the students are to do post highschool, and most of all the excess time should be spent teaching how politics affect us, and the importance of our democratic rights. Many young people just dont care anymore, after the 13 years of schooling that many wont use, its their last concern to go home and self teach themselves how to vote, who to vote for and how it will affect them. When young people get out of school they want Money, so they work, this leaves little time to go and learn important topics that werent taught in the 13 years of school that young people attend. 
     
      Properly discussing politics usually isnt in the direct school ciriculum... 13 years.. What do you expect? This is the reason why half our population votes.. Will the Government correct the ciriculum to make the Canadian youth and public more saavy to politics or will the Government continue to rule our Democracy of ignorant, unprepared and seemily unintelligent public. Yes, Voting is our Right, and its the only diffrence between democracy and a dictatorship ,but the Government school system doesnt show the public how or who to vote for. When the public doesnt vote it shows we dont care, and that mentality will lead us closer and closer to a dictatorship like government. Is the Government trying to leave the public uneducated?
     Why did the NDP lose? Maybe because, they are unreliable. "Time for a change" The leader of the NDP Adrien Dix Was to be arrested for fraud, suppression of evidence, obstruction of justice in 1999. Did everyone just forget? "Time for a change"? Did everyone forget? It is embarassing how a politician can do this. The information is right here in front of us and we want the NDP? The facts are on the internet. Maybe, he lost because the voters remembered or at least researched that he was arrested for fraud and was stealing from us... At least all of the other politicians do it without getting caught..
