The post you are reporting:
Thank you Keith, it is certainly better to respond to that post here.
Yes Bob, you are missing something (and welcome, by the way). How best to express what that might be though?
Ah yes,
You misfoot yourself, as many have before you, in that you speak in terms of 'older' and 'younger'; as if you are destined only to become as 'they' are - in time, also when you ask why 'they' fail to include you and those like you.
For a start, 'older' does not mean wiser;many grow older without growing up. You, being 'younger' have much potential to become much more than 'they', don't begin by selling yourself short.
And as far as being included in their deliberations is concerned. In my opinion, it is not for the likes of 'them' to choose whether on not to include you, it is for you to demand inclusion. I am glad to see that you have taken the first step in setting that demand out.
To keep on with the UKIP side of things for the moment. Their contact address was given on here somewhere today, perhaps someone will repeat it here, fire off an email and (perhaps) demand of them what they have to offer the young of today.
