Hello
We've been approached by the Courier newspaper, who want to know what Mumsnet users think about the Scottish Government's Children and Young People's Panel on Europe.
As you'll see from this tweet, some responses have been negative, accusing the Scottish government/the SNP of trying to indoctrinate children, and a spokesperson for the Scottish Conservatives speaking to the Courier has characterised it as 'pressurising 8 year olds'. Some have pointed out that children under 13 are not (according to the terms of service) supposed to be on Twitter.
What do you reckon? Is it legitimate for the Scottish government to be seeking the views of children from the age of 8 upwards on Brexit (or an any issue)? Does it matter that they're publicising it on Twitter?
Any thoughts welcome!
Thanks
