What the petition asks
One of my friends, an A-Level student, recently asked me what the difference is between Labour and Conservative; if this simple difference is not made clear, then how could they distinguish between a hard and a soft Brexit? We have sex and drugs education, but where is our political education?
The government controls our lives, and our generation has now been led into an unknown political shambles. Millions are spent on Brexit every single week, eradicating our education budget. Money has constantly been tossed in the bin, for negotiations that have subsequently led to nothing. Brexit controls our lives, and for us to have no say in what dominates our future is horrifying. Our generation is clueless, and we are the generation who will be left, to pick up the pieces.
