Name: Fiona
Welsh
Status:
Deputy MYP
Constituency:
Cheshire
--------------------------------------------------------
Which political issues are you
most passionate about?
Getting youth voices heard, to get
them off the streets and lower the amount of ASBOs given to teenagers.
The education that is given to young people and how it is not relevant
to the audience.
What do you feel is the biggest
issue for young people in your constituency?
Travel. It's really hard for young
people to travel because they don't have very much money and buses
are extremely expensive. Also, the amount of bullying that goes
on due to gangs on street corners because they have no designated
areas to hang out.
What do you hope to achieve during
your term of office?
To get the voices of young people
across Mid Cheshire heard and also a suitable and affordable place
to hang out during the evenings and at holidays.
What is your future career ambition?
Not 100% sure yet. I love media, drama
and history so will probably have a career in one of those areas.
Which public figure do you most
admire and why?
Seebohm Rowntree and David Lloyd George.
They both helped to change Britain for the better by helping those
that need help. Giving children free school meals, national insurance,
state pensions and many more that have benefited the nation.
If there was one message you could
send to the government, what would it be?
Listen to young people. Just because
we are younger than adults we still have opinions that may be better
than a 60 year old with a PHD.
Additional comments:
The town that you were born, country
you have grown up in, the colour of your skin, and your religion
all determine what you will be when you are older - how long you
live, the background you will have, the money you will be able to
earn. This isn't right or fair. Everyone should be equal and treated
as equals, and given the opportunities that are needed for them
to make the most out of their lives.
