I have been involved with getting young peoples voices heard for a year now; having been elected chairman for the fenland youth district council. I have been working on a County campaign to get free transport for young people in Cambridgeshire, and feel this would really take off if I was elected to represent young people in this area for the UK Youth Parliament. I am a confident public speaker and do not feel nervous about meeting new people. I can get my point (and others) across in a way that appeals to those for who it is intended. I Would Also Like To Change the Way Young People are portrayed in newspapers and in the media. This is why I feel I would be the best man for the job of representing East Cambridgeshire and Fenland, representing what we stand for, representing YOU!
