Candidate Statement: Hello! My name is Ewan and I would like
to be your next Welsh Youth Parliament Member. It’s easy for us as young people
to feel powerless, and without a say in what’s going on around Wales. We feel
alienated, separated and disconnected from the world around us. It’s no
surprise this is the case, with mental health issues on the rise, Covid-19 and
the climate crisis, it’s no wonder most feel this way. However we must not let
this stop us. I believe that the young of today should have far more say in our
tomorrow. If I am elected as your representative I will do everything I can to
fight to get our opinions heard on the issues that affect us the most. As a
member of the Bridgend Youth Council, I have experience in ensuring young
people are heard, and I hope to bring this to Welsh Youth Parliament, so I can
take your voice and make it loud enough for all to hear. I want a future where
no young person feels hopeless, or ignored, or alienated. I hope that you share
this wish and will consider choosing me as your next Welsh Youth Parliament
representative.
