We want the UK to appoint a dedicated minister for young people.

What the petition asks

Young people in this country, are not being heard, and not being catered for by government. We constantly get shafted at the expense of the silver haired vote because of the perception that we aren't engaged with, or care about politics. We do care! We want somebody accountable to deal with us.

Ever since the 2008 recession, young people have been beaten down with a stick and told to put up.

The abolishing of EMA allowance
Trebling university fees
Taking away housing benefit for 18-21 year old's
New living wage excluding under 25's

Are all examples of government policy designed to take away from young people in order to give to other demographics of the vote.

All in the age of low wages and astronomical rent and house prices.
It's time we engage and let our voice be heard.
