Reaction to first-time voters QT 1

"...after 10 minutes after tuning in to tonight's Question Time I switched channels due to the irritating and somewhat patronising answers being given to intelligently posed questions."


"This was basically an attempt at being 'down wif da kidz' and treating politics as some kind of joke."


"I was in the audience for the show and yes I didn't really see the point in Jamelia being there ... I found it helpful but it was infuriating that they wouldn't answer the question properly, after the show stopped airing a few people said to the panel you need to learn to answer what's asked of you and learn how to speak and involve younger people in politics."


^ Very interesting viewpoints. Attempts again seen as patronising and out of touch. Also, young people want their questions answered properly, clearly. Not skirted around. Low tolerance of the way traditional politics and such programs as QT seem to work.
