Reform The Youth Parliament System and Make It More Available to the Youth.

Reform The Youth Parliament System and Make It More Available to the Youth. — 8 signatures. Status: rejected.

Petition background

I think that the UK government need to reform the Youth Parliament system to make it more realistic and beneficial to not only the people of these constituencies, but also to people who aspire to become genuine MP's in the future. This would help the youth get a feel for politics, and benefit them.

Additional details

Here are the reforms I would suggest. 1. Allow Youth MP's to sit in Parliament and Debate once a month. 2. Create a voting system for these Youth MP's- Similar to local MP elections, but right afterward. 3. Hold elections for the Youth MP's after the MP Elections. Make them realistic to the genuine elections. Adults and the Youth can vote for the youth MP's. 4. Teach people in school how to run for an election, write a manifesto, and also how to vote. Also, hold model elections in schools.
