Biography

Candidate Statement: Hello to all girls, boys, non-binary folk and everyone in between. My name is Fiona and I live in Cardiff, I go to Llanishen High School and use she/her pronouns.

The reason I want to represent you in the Welsh Youth Parliament is simple, to make a change. I want to make sure your ideas and beliefs are heard so that we can change this country for the better. My confidence would allow me to make sure everyone knows what YOU believe.

Equality is imperative, for everyone. No matter gender identity, sexual/romantic orientation, race, religion. Everyone deserves the same rights, as a member of the LGBTQ+ community I feel very strongly about this.

The Education System does not prepare students for the future, it prepares us for the past. After all, it was created to train students to work in factories. Did you know homework was created as a punishment? In 2020, I made the reform of the education system my debate topic. It's an issue I strongly believe needs addressing.

Whatever issues are bothering you, I will make sure they are addressed if I am elected.

I appreciate you reading this, thank you.
