Only 44% of 18-24 year olds voted in the 2010 UK general election, despite over half of 19-24 year olds being registered to vote. Many young people choose not to vote because they feel the government lies or that their vote does not matter, but by abstaining they have no ability to influence democracy or choose England's leadership, and instead must accept the decisions of those who do vote.

1. Task 2a secondary research
In the last general election of 2010 44% of 18-24 year olds voted.
You can register to vote at 16, 54% of 19-24 year olds bother.
Many young people don’t vote because of the lies the government tell but because they don’t vote
they can’t change the way democracy work and they don’t have a choice in the matter and they
have to go along with it. The choice of what happens in England and who becomes governor goes to
all the people who vote and those who don’t have to g with what has been chosen for them.
