THIS month the Government has launched a new advertisement campaign, and this time not at the expense of the Tory party.

I feel this campaign, entitled 'If you don't do politics, you don't do much', is a very good example of how distanced the population is from those who make their decisions and is extremely worthwhile.

As a politics student, I study what many young people would consider 'very boring', but I urge you as a young person to pick up a newspaper more often and you may be surprised how much politics affects you.
