2 Young To Vote

news, politics, society, culture, government · EN

Too young to vote, but not too young to care. Each week, 14-year-old Henry Blakeman sits down with New Zealand's leading politicians, from National, Labour, the Green Party, ACT, New Zealand First, Te Pāti Māori and The Opportunity Party, to unpack the issues actually shaping the country’s future. Because you shouldn't need a ballot to have a voice. Henry Blakeman is a passionate, sharp-minded young political commentator from New Zealand. Still years away from being able to vote himself, Henry follows politics closely and brings a confidence to the mic that catches even seasoned politicians off guard. His goal isn't to tell you how to vote, it's to break down the issues clearly enough that you can make up your own mind. A firm believer that the voting age should be lowered to 16, Henry puts the question to every guest who joins him on the show. This podcast was created, produced, and published by PodLab.
