MEMBER OF UK YOUTH PARLIAMENT (STOCKTON-ON-TEES)
Matthew Wilson was elected to the post of Stockton's UK youth parliament
representative in July. Matthew will be working locally to listen to the views of the town's young people in support of developing his own local priorities which he will feed into regional and national UK youth parliament.
The 'Make your Mark' campaign
Matthew recently attended a number of events, youth groups and youth clubs to encourage our young people to get their voices heard by getting involved in the UK Youth Parliament's national 'Make your Mark' campaign.
The campaign offered young people the opportunity to vote for the issues that matter the most to them from a list. (It was available online and in hard copy). Over 300 young people from our Borough took part. When the voting closed on 16th October 2011, the top five national issues of concern were:
* Make public transport cheaper, better and accessible for all;
* No to tuition fees, yes to graduate tax;
* Zero tolerance towards bullying in schools;
* End child poverty; and
* A Greener future for Britain
Over 65,000 young people took part in the ballot, with over 300,000 votes cast. This was over a 1000% increase on the 2010 ballot - showing the depth of interest and passion among young people in the UK today.
On 4th November 2011, members of the UK YP met in the House of Commons to debate and decide which of the top five issues would become their core campaign for the following year. Matthew was also there and took part in the lively debate.
In the end the issue chosen to be the Youth Parliament's priority national campaign for the coming year is: 'Make public transport cheaper, better and accessible for all'
The UKYP has produced some campaign resources which can be downloaded from their website. They are planning to ask the public to support the campaign by signing an online petition to get the Government and MPs sit up and take notice.
