I think their position is more "the young people need to be kept interested & informed in politics because at the moment they are neither, and this includes us".
My rant which gets trotted out from time to time is why on EARTH politics is not mandatory in schools? I mean surely of all the things which it should be compulsory for everyone to know, how one's country is governed (and by extension how decisions about how one's life can be led) is surely QUITE HIGH UP THE LIST, and yet nothing about even the basic structure of British politics is taught AT ANY POINT.
