Why Young People Don't Vote (IV)

Regular reader Alexandra Taylor writes:

It's actually kind of funny the different approaches to youth apathy that the Globe and the Journal are taking. The Journal, it would seem given who they are contacting, is finding politically active youth and asking them why youth don't vote and the Globe found a poli sci student who is totally apathetic and asking him why he doesn't vote. It seems to be the pet electoral mechanics issue of this election - youth voting. Given that, Elections Canada's youth section is beyond paltry.

(Parts I, II, and III.)

As an aside, as we're vehemently opposed to comments (for most of the same reasons explored in Will Baude's anti-comments crusade), but that doesn't mean you can't tell us how you feel about PoI — just drop us a line or, if you've got your own Trackback-enabled blog, ping us.

Points of Information: alternately amusing, terrifyingly inane, or annoying. But we're always entertaining. Well, okay. Not always. Occasionally entertaining?

We don't bite, though. Unless you ask real nice.
