Politics isn't just about elections, it's every day - and your voice can make a difference any time.

Besides voting, signing petitions, avoiding or buying certain products, donating to a cause or party, and answering opinion polls are all ways of having your say.

Letters, emails, txts to media and politicians, helping with a campaign or even joining a political party can also be fun and effective ways to see your country and planet head down the path you want. You can even think about standing as a candidate yourself.
