The image you've chosen ("people don't know their true power") means the complete opposite to me of what you seem to think it means. The powerful act referred to is precisely that of turning your back on politics; to refuse to participate. Political power depends on popular support, and by not voting you are withholding your support for the political system. At least, that's my interpretation.

You're totally right @Morality2. I've made a extended post about this issue. If you'd like to check it you: click here.
The image captures perfectly the true strength of the power people have. If they choose not to unite and take action then they lose their strength. The voting system is only one part of the power people have, but an important part of it nonetheless. With young people in Britain they are becoming more engaged which is great but it is very important that their vote, as with anyones, must be an informed vote.
