If young people want to be listened to more, they need to go out and vote, or even just spoil their ballots. Anything to show up in the turnout figures. Then politicians will have to listen to them.

Earache Records sits in Sneinton Market, in the constituency of Nottingham East, alongside many other arty, independent businesses selling chocolates, art prints and craft beer.
