What the petition asks
Elections in the US and the recent Brexit vote demonstrate key decisions that the people need to have a good background in Politics to vote on. Giving an education promotes this exploration of politics earlier than just 6 months before a referendum/election. Students can make up their own mind.

People need the chance to have an educated vote, not voting on personality or party without understanding.
