      Yes, I do think that. It’s really important that we apply our critical thinking skills when digesting what politicians say.

      It’s also important to minimise the extent to which the voting system itself can be manipulated. I think we should push for PR (proportional representation), which is where parties gain seats in proportion to the number of people who voted for them.
