Finlay 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:
equal rights
sexual education
mental health
I believe being a member of the
Welsh Youth Parliament would be an unmissable opportunity for me to repay my
community. It would allow me to be the change I and many other young people
would like to see in Wales. I would say that I am very opinionated on topics
such as mental health, equal rights (especially involving racism, sexism, and
homophobia), and sex education/health. To ensure that all young people's voices
are heard and represented I will conduct talks at my school, athletics club and
volunteering organization where I will ask my peers of any changes they would
like to see in Wales.
Young people are also welcome
to raise any issues with me by messaging me on my facebook or twitter account.
I believe that people should vote for me because no matter what my opinion is
on someone's views, I will respect their standpoint and take their argument
into consideration nonetheless. I believe myself to have the people and
communication skills, coupled with the social knowledge to allow me to excel in
this role. If elected, I will do everything in my power to help turn Wales into
an even more equal and accepting place.
