What the petition asks
The EU Referendum made one thing clear, there's a lack of understanding across the entire country of not only the political system but the ideologies. Let's educated children from a young age to understand the claims made in Government.
As a 25-year old Graduate, who studied AS-Level Politics, I have little to no understanding of the political ideologies of the parties. Although at the time I would have disputed it as a 'boring' subject, just think how more informed I'd have been today.
