Paid a visit to Grand Avenue School to talk to some of their classes about being a politician and trying to explain to them what a politician does and what the difference is between local and central Government.
Of the two classes I spoke to both ended up in a debate about tax. Quite surprising considering the age. Even for them tax is an issue, manly because their parents and carers pay for it. Tax is all around us and when you tell kids of that age how much of their payment for sweets go to the Government they can soon understand how serious tax is as an issue. As ever all we need do is find the language that the voter will understand!!
