Democrazy 2007- inspiring the youth to vote....



Jamie Hepburn, an SNP candidate has posted this you tube video created by the Electoral Reform Society in Scotland on his blog. The intention of the video is to encourage young people to vote.

I'm not sure if such a video has been made for young Welsh voters, but it's important to get young people out and taking part in politics here in Wales. The question is- Does this you tube video inspire you? Will it make any difference?

Its a great video, in fact i spoke briefly to Cieran about doing something similar. I will happily get involved if you fancied doing something similar post-election?

after the election is not on my mind yet but I definitely want to be active in getting young people interested in politics in whatever way is possible. I am recording a radio show tomorrow with young people asking questions about the election, and then they are putting on some of my favourite tracks. Stuff like this should happen all year round, not just at election time.
