This is a very niche forum with very biased opinions...

I also solicited internet views via poll for my year end coursework back in 1997

I would agree with that post of yours atw, but as nick said, you're probably wrong on the previous one.

In my thesis last year I posted on numerous forums, university boards, clubs, etc to get a broad range of responses. Judging by the member being a new one, I would hazard a guess that they have signed up to almost every forum they can find, including some with starkly different mindsets to CUK like mumsnet for instance, just to get a few hundred responses.

Hint: SKA might help

sid=bp7lzm1p8eagrv13966 - bloody websites using SID which is commonly used for SESSIONID as unique identifier that isn't really session, ffs!

How do you know what the poll sample is? Are you assuming that CUK is the only place a link to the sample has been posted? If so, do you have any data supporting that assumption? Hint: SKA might help

Poll sample is biased and therefore unlikely to be valid.

HTH

If you were going to have to pay £9,000 a year to go to university which doesn't guarantee you will get a decent job then you would find yourself interested in the policitical process too.

Also some 16 year olds are like William Hague <shudders>

(BTW I answered it.)

WSES. Young people I know these days are much more politically aware, presumably because Her Majesty's Government keeps tulipting on their turf by doing really stupid things that seem like a good idea at the time, then getting really arsey when those with a deeper understanding of the implications try to caution them against it

I'm not sure I agree with that. With Swiss democracy, power resides at the community level and is devolved upwards. The people do have considerable power, and can often frustrate the federal government.

I didnt mean as a worldwide generalisation, but the UK specifically.

Im not too aware of the swiss political system to be honest, but from what I do know, I dont think britain will ever have that level of democracy.

However, one could still debate that point. Is there such a thing as true democracy? Some decisions in nearly every country such as ministries for defence/warfare, etc, may never go through a democratic process. Peoples objections may be ignored in such circumstances.

No £10 off the internet.

Haha same why Im doing mine then .....

Question 8 16-21 year olds

I have an unease with 16 year olds being involved in the political process.

It was a long time ago but my recollection of things that interested me at 16 was mopeds, getting into pubs and birds knickers!

18 was college,illegal substances, motorbikes and getting into birds knickers

Have times changed so much that today's yoof are sufficiently aware to make an informed judgement and actually vote?

I recall a heated discussion with my brother about once he qualified as a doctor he should then go off to Africa for two years and work free as some kind of payback for his education.

Total bollox of course, but at a young age you have grandiose schemes without realising that someone has to pay

Failed poll - no Andyw option.

Not to mention begging in capitals
