The government of British Columbia is worried because young people don't seem to care much about politics. They are desparate to find ways to get young adults to care enough to vote when they come of age.

The politicans have talked about the "youth problem" a lot, but nothing happened until recently. Talk turned to action last week when Premier Gordon Campbell had a brainwave. Mr. Campbell stood up in the Legislative Assembly and said, "If we want to know what students think, why don't we just ask them?" The House erupted in applause at Mr. Campbell's very novel idea.

The MLAs got together with Much Music and decided to create the Politcal Beliefs Music Video Contest. In the contest, students create music videos that demonstrate their political beliefs. At the end of every video, the student ends with the line: The _________ party gets my vote. The blank gets filled in with whatever provincial political party the students likes best.

You are going to create a political beliefs music video for the contest. You will send it in and then see if you win.
