The outcome of the EU referendum would probably have been different had more young people in the UK bothered to vote. Why are people so disengaged from the political process, and how can we change that? It’s a question James Craig has been considering since the vote for Brexit.

James Craig is a second year A-level student at Exeter College. Having originally aspired to be a doctor, a work experience placement at a firm of solicitors set him on a different path and he now plans to study Law at University. He is thrilled to have been invited to share his ideas at TEDxExeter.
