He added the youth vote is vitally important because they are the ones that will have to live with the decision being made by the current generation of politicians.

“The youth of today are not participating in our democratic institutions, and so in some sense you have yourself to blame if you’re not willing to get engaged because you’re going to live the consequences,” Weaver said. “Be part of the system now so that you know that people have your interests front and centre, not just their re-election interests front and centre when they’re making policy.”

Weaver said his party will be unveiling its education plan in the coming weeks. The agriculture plan will be unveiled on Tuesday.
