The trend is mainly attributed to the youth disengagement due to lack of interest in politics. This matter has become a serious concern for scholars and politicians, while they try to find new ways to develop youth interest in politics. In fact, studying political-interest is not a simple subject because it is directly linked to the behavior of voters.' To ameliorate this behavior, it requires great efforts to position political brand in an attractive way to appeal the young voters. Furthermore, the behavior of young voters is directly influenced by their social networks. Brand awareness and brand association (in this case political party or politician) dependent on the intensity and amplitude of information and the nature and manner of available tools used for promotional purposes. Particularly in politics, politicians ha...

In this paper, we adapted this class and motivated by Searle [13], and we suggested more generalized class of estimators for estimating the population variance in simple random sampling. The expressions for the mean square error of proposed class have been derived in general form. Besides obtaining the minimized MSE of the proposed and adapted class, it is shown that the adapted classis the special case of the proposed class. Moreover, these theoretical findings are supported by an empirical study of original data.
