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.
