Richard Ashworth
Conservative Member of the European Parliament
for the South East of England
Focus on Schools
The last European election saw a UK turnout of only 38% (EU average 46.6%) and in the 1999 elections turnout was the lowest in Europe at just 24%. If we want to change this pattern, educating our youth on how politics affects them and their family is important.
In this section I have encouraged schools in the South East to share their views and European experiences. Please have a look and if you would like to be involved please email us at rashworth@europarl.eu.int
