Message from Dawn Butler

From LabourList / @LabourList

Dawn Butler has seen Young Labour’s contributions on LabourList ahead of tomorrow’s conference and just sent us this message:

“It is vitally important that we find a solution to the political apathy that is widespread amongst young people come election time. I know that young people in Britain are interested in politics. They are often very engaged by single issues such as poverty and climate change, but shy away from the formal structures because they are not as appealing.

“LabourList can encourage more young people to get active in politics. Last year over 500 young people joined the Labour Party and I hope that this trend continues with LabourList being part of this movement for engagement.”
