INTRODUCTION<\/strong>: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Democracy in the United Kingdom is based on a constitutional monarchy and a representative parliamentary system, where citizens elect Members of Parliament to the House of Commons. It is founded on principles of parliamentary sovereignty, and a governing executive accountable to Parliament, rather than a single written constitution<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PROBLEM, SURVEY RESULTS AND ANALYSIS.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based on data from 2024\u20132026, one of the main challenges facing the UK is the cost of living crisis, with 86% of adults reporting it as an important issue in June 2025, driven by high inflation and increased food and energy costs. This is closely intertwined with a fragile economy characterized by low growth, weak productivity, and sluggish investment following Brexit and the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have conducted a survey to analyse what young people think about this. According to the survey, 10% of people believe that the political system in Spain doesn\u2019t work well, the 48,3% of people think that young people aren\u2019t taken seriously in politics. 63.3% of people would vote if they could but 73,3% think that persons under 18 years shouldn\u2019t vote. Also 83,3% of people think that politics should be taught in school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These results show that this situation needs to change, because young people feel excluded and poorly educated in this matter. It\u2019s important to have a political ideal, but if we\u2019re not able to vote, we lose interest thinking it\u2019s \u201cgrown up stuff\u00bb. If we want this to change, and make young voices matter, the first step is awareness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

SOLUTION<\/strong>S<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through films and series, we can show that the  government is important and something we need to be informed and able to have an opinion about. In the films, we can see corruption and the young people getting hurt because they have no vote or voice, they can just survive and wait until they\u2019re grown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, we propose some recommendations for young people with our personal ratings, to read and watch to get an idea of these topics:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
