What's the big idea with trying to raise voter turnout and getting more youngsters registered ?
I think it would be better for the country if those who are well-informed voted...and those who aren't, stayed home. If your priorities aren't weighted towards making an informed decision, why should you vote at all ? Yeah, it's your right, and you may go ahead and exercise it, but I don't see the point of independent groups attempting to get more people registered. I think it would be more useful to get more people educated about politics instead, but that's a different problem altogether.
