TIME and time again you hear that young people are not interested in politics. However, no one can say that again in Southampton.
No matter which political party you support (and hell would have to freeze over before I backed the Tories), you have to hand it to them when it comes to involving young people. They are doing something correct, and that has to be good and healthy. Let's hope some of these young councillors will champion young people's issues.
Congratulations to all the new young elected Conservative South-ampton councillors.
That is probably the first and last time I will ever even come close to given a compliment to you and your party.
COUNCILLOR DON THOMAS, Southampton City Council.
