I realise points wanted to be covered but it should be cut down. However, overall, I think that this was very beneficial. Questions took too long to be addressed. Some councillors spoke too much not giving others enough time to speak The minimum voting age should be lowered to 16 as with drinking age. 16 year olds are not as stupid as people think Portions in school meals are too small – I get hungry. Free transport means kids will walk less and less – so obesity will rise. It was interesting to hear what the councillors had to say, but they should try not to compete with each other on behalf of their parties because it gets very much like a meeting in the House of Commons, but we want to hear their opinions not the arguments of the political parties. S:MayorOffice/YouthQuestionTime/Analysis of Student Feedback Form/CB The Councillors should have spent less time making digs at other parties and more time answering questions Maggie Cosin had no right to tell the story about the person connected to drugs The day has been quite enjoyable, although there seems to be a bit of childish feistiness between the politicians Enjoyable, but politicians were childish towards each other. Labour and Conservation blabbed on. Not good answers. I think the councillors shouldn’t advertise their parties so much Thank you Twas vri good They are all great and everybody listens and it feels like your equals More time is needed with a break half way through It was nice to be treated like an adult but a shame that the panel acted like children. They seemed quite intent on advertising their parties and mocking each others. It was quite beside today’s point. Travel should be free up until 18 years and on ALL forms of transport I don’t think enough time was spent on certain issues I think it was a brilliant chance to express our views and learn more about politics in the UK and Camden but I think there was a lot to discuss in little time Next time make sure you don’t book it at the same time as Ramadan!! Also set a theme so we can research beforehand Thanks very much but more time would be good Politicians weren’t direct enough with answers The Labour politician was patronising The councillors answered the questions truthfully and honestly and they answered it in a simple way S:MayorOffice/YouthQuestionTime/Analysis of Student Feedback Form/CB
