Everything in England currently feels as topsy-turvy as Wonderland - what with all the excitement being generated by our first ever LEADERS' DEBATE
One of the best things about it is watching old footage of the American equivalent. They are old hands at the sport - ever since the first live debate between Jack Kennedy and Richard Nixon, back in 1960.
But are we blinkered or open-minded when it comes to politics? I recently took this test:

And suggested friends do the same.
They were surprised at the results......
Are you?
Very interesting, Shazza - and my "best match" was indeed the party I intend to vote for. Just!
ReplyDeleteMy 12yo is really, really interested in it and both kids have been grilling me about who I'm voting for and why. (Am v pleased they asked "why" at the same time - shows they will think it through.) We've been looking at the three main parties' policies and discussing whether we agree or disagree with them. And they understand that it's important to vote, and do it from a position of information.
I hope you'll get them both to do the quiz as well, Kate!
