At the beginning of this small talk we had on British Values had little to know idea on what the official values are and as a British Citizen this is pretty bad that I had know idea on what they could be. They are as follows...
Mutual Respect and tolerance for others-
After we talked about the British Values, we moved onto the upcoming general election and the importance of voting for policies not headlines or public figures. During this talk a shocking statistic came up that in the last general election 2.5 million adults from ages 18-24 didn't vote. This statistic seemed quite surprising to me as a lot of people seem happy to talk about their opinions on different parties, yet they don’t find the need to vote. Also if everyone of that 2.5 million individuals voted the end result could potential be very different to what it was back in 2015. The picture below shows the polls for the 2015 general election; and it looks that conservative only won by 6% so, if those 2.5 million individuals voted the result could have been marginally different.
The next general election is Thursday 8th June and the candidates are...
Conservative: Theresa May
Liberal democrats: Tim Farron
Green Party: Caroline Lucas
The main two leading parties are Conservative and Labour, which are extremely different to one another. Conservative are more right wing and they believe that the fox hunting should be brought back, that the NHS should be privatised, more grammar schools and that benefits should be cut. Labour on the other hand are left wing and believe that higher education fees should be lowered, £10 for the minimum wage and that we should get rid of our nuclear weapons base.
