Candidate Statement: Hi, I’m Megan and I’m running to become
a member of Youth Parliament Wales because I believe I’m empathetic and honest
and these qualities, plus my strong opinions on local issues would make me a
good representative for my area. Another reason to vote for me is my experience
as a Welsh speaker, hockey player and orchestra member which give me an
understanding of different kinds of young people in Cardiff. If I was elected,
I would make communication with the young people I represent accessible through
holding online/in person meetings. People could share their opinions on local
issues and see their concerns acted on or raised by me to people in authority.
I’ve had some prior experience in politics and debating, as I voiced concern
for my three topics of focus when I took part in the European Youth Parliament
nationals, which is basically a load of Highschool students shouting at each
other for two days. But I learned a lot about how a parliament works and how I
can make real change.
