Lloyd Warburton

Lloyd was a Member of the second Welsh Youth Parliament from 2021 to 2024.

The following was his candidate statement for election to the second Welsh Youth Parliament:

My key issues are:

• Youth Mental Health
• Protecting the Environment
• Rural Transport

Candidate Statement: I'm Lloyd Warburton and I’m hoping to be Ceredigion’s next member of the WYP. I’ve got a strong interest in local and national politics and have always had the ambition of standing up for Ceredigion at a national level. Since 2017, I have passionately supported independence for Wales, and since then have become much more interested in specific local issues. I will speak up strongly for young mental health, re-opening the Aberystwyth-Carmarthen railway, as well as for the rural environment, particularly the litter problems in our county. I will actively provide updates on my work on social media and be easy to contact over social media and other means regarding ANY issue that’s important to young people in Ceredigion. I can bring people together, listen to both sides of any issue and analyse data and evidence very carefully, often spotting things that others may not. Since March 2020, I’ve kept track of and posted updates on Wales’s COVID-19 situation on social media, which has attracted a following of more than 20,000 people. I can also speak Welsh, making me an ideal person to represent our beautiful county. I look forward to serving all of Ceredigion’s young people.
