Why is your voice important?
Political parties' decisions affect your personal life. They decide on issues that affect everyone, from young to old. For example, think about work for young people, opening hours of stores and cafes, the redesign of your neighborhood, education and the construction of new housing. So use your right to vote and vote for the party that suits you best! It is important that issues you care about are heard. That way your interests are represented.
