MPs and journalists have often expressed concern that young people are disinterested in our political system. In order to address this problem, a group of Lower Sixth students, who are involved in our vibrant Politics Society, have put their digital skills to use to engage young people with the political process.

The boys leading this project are Adam Feldman, Rishi Hindocha, Ben Harris and Jordan Urban. They believe that public faith in politicians is declining because politicians make lots of seemingly empty promises.  

How can the public know what progress the government is making when there are so many conflicting, partisan views?  

Mr Clark, the Head of Politics at Habs, said “This is an exciting, independent project by a group of enthusiastic, resourceful and very bright young men. I am delighted to see them utilise their growing political expertise and their outstanding digital and evaluative skills towards a project that will hopefully be of great public good and help re-engage many young people’s confidence in the political process. The team would certainly welcome any feedback on their website that members of the public have.”
