"Voters roundly reject MMP" - my opinion?

"Voters roundly reject MMP" – even the title of the article contains foreign information to me. To be honest I really don’t know much about politics and quite frankly I have never found interest in them (although I probably should). So as I was thinking about how I could give an opinion on something that I hardly know anything about, I realized that that in itself is something interesting – that I would say the majority of the youth today do not know much about the political world that surrounds them and influences their lives everyday.
"Larry Gordon, campaign manager for the citizens' group Vote for MMP, said it appeared many voters simply didn't get the information they needed to decide. He said Elections Ontario, which said it sent out millions of leaflets and spent $6.8-million, still could have done more to spread the word." Although I might be taking this quote slightly out of context, it does point out that perhaps there hasn’t been enough done to inform voters and potential voters. I, personally, have (and I’m slightly embarrassed saying so) been legally able to vote for the last 2 years and have not done so once. I think that schools (especially high schools) should inform their students of what is happening in their city’s politics, not just what happened in World War I. I feel that if I was perhaps encouraged by my parents and taught by my teachers earlier on, I would probably be more involved today. Of course, I do have to take some of the blame…
