Ifan was a Member of the first
Welsh Youth Parliament from 2018 to 2021.
The following was his candidate
statement for election to the first Welsh Youth Parliament:
My key issues are:
Strengthening young people's rights in the
workplace
Improving public transport
More relevant/contemporary topics
I am Ifan Price from Cricieth
and I’m in my final year at Coleg Meirion Dwyfor Pwllheli. I have a keen
interest in politics and I would like to benefit from the opportunity that the
Welsh Youth Parliament offers in order to improve my area and learn more about
the world of politics. Speaking in public and voicing my opinion isn’t
unfamiliar for me – I have been chair of the school council at primary and
secondary school. Over the years, I have learned essential skills to ensure
that your voice is heard by the Youth Parliament and on a national stage. My
priority will be
Strengthening and enhancing the rights of young
people as they take up weekend/holiday jobs
Improving public transport
Adapting the school curriculum to give more
attention to mental health, essential life skills, careers talks, sexual
health etc.
If I am elected, I intent to
visit the schools in my constituency, and keep in regular and close touch with
you about your concerns, ideas and suggestions. Also, my email and social media
accounts will be open for any suggestions and questions. As the saying goes;
'The Price Is Right'.
