What exactly is good or sound political education? I think Donuel had it right when he posted: We used to think it was male rich white property owners. At the beginning of the 20th century, British people were taught that the Empire was the natural order of things and that women should be looking after the home rather campaigning for universal suffrage. I hope that by the beginning of the next century, young people studying political history will look back at today's times and shake their heads in disbelief when they read about 'first past the post' and electoral colleges.
