If we want to encourage young people to vote and get involved in EU policy, the answer is to introduce online voting.

(I can only tell from a German perspective)Finding a party which totally represents you is impossible. Informing about parties takes a lot of effort. Subjects of electoral campaigns barely affect us directly. Frustration follows, either because it feels that nobody cares or because one was let down.
