Candidate Statement: Being a teenager in modern Wales is
drastically different to the life that our parents knew, in a myriad of ways.
From the end of the Cold War to the rise of Big Tech, our lives have been
changed forever. It is up to the youth of today to help change this country, so
being a youth parliament member would allow people like myself to be at the
forefront of social change.
I want to represent the people I have grown up with, their
opinions, their concerns and make meaningful change to their lives. Their
experiences are ones I want to listen to, and through social media I hope to
gain a wider understanding of how I can represent them.
From being the editor of the school newspaper, to speaking
at international Model United Nations conferences, I have experienced many
things which has given me world knowledge. When paired with my perception of
the world as an openly LGBTQ+ individual, this would make me an ideal person to
speak on behalf of the youth of Wales.
There is a better world we can build, and I want to
represent everyone in it, by you voting for a Welsh student.
