We’re pretty confident the stuff about under 18’s won’t make it to any final legislation, but we’re submitting to the select committee just to make sure :-)

Which I consider entirely appropriate and valuable to me. It is educational and helps me decide. Otherwise - where does one get good info to support one's own special concerns? In short I don't think it is just overboard - I consider it idiotic. And I DO support Open Government. I haven't read the bill, but the bit about no organisation with under 18's in it can "electioneer" seems idiotic. What about eg the young nats. Aren't the young entitled to express their opinions? It's THEIR future. WHERE CAN I READ THE BILL?? quickly - off the cuff
