Hello My name is Jonathan
Powell, I’m 16 years of age and love my country!
I desire to see Wales thrive as
a country, a country which listens to it’s citizens and takes their advice on
board. One thing I am passionate about is the arts; music, performing...
All things I love. Sadly in Wales we are seeing a decrease of country funded
music services and this saddens me.
We have always been a country
known for music and culture and I am determined to make this well known trate
continue from generation to generation.
As a Christian a topic close to
my heart is religious freedom, we as a country seem to be restricting many
areas of freedom of speech and I am passionate about standing up to ensure that
as in the past we as a country continue to pride ourself on our freedom and
liberty and values.
As an individual I am a keen
speaker who enjoys taking. I am confident and am also a welsh speaker and I
believe we must keep our language alive. I do hope you will vote for me so I
can represent you and our great nation!
