What they say...
"The fact that this competition has stimulated such interest is a sign of how engaged many young people want to be with political discussion and decision-making if given the chance. It´s a great way to encourage a new generation to learn more about Parliament and the political process, and I would like to wish you even greater success in the years to come."
David Cameron MP, Prime Minister and Leader of the Conservative Party
“This competition is a really innovative way of engaging young people beyond Westminster in our political process and so I’m really pleased that so many people have got involved. Too often young people feel alienated and excluded from politics, and this competition is a great showcase of their wealth of talent.
I was very impressed by the quality of the winning entries, and look forward to reading more ideas in the future about how to make Britain a better place and how to engage young people. I would like to wish everyone the best of luck.”
Nick Clegg MP, Deputy Prime Minister and Leader of the Liberal Democrats
What they say...
"Young people are interested in politics; even if they don’t always make it to the ballot box at election time. I was impressed with the quality of entries at last years’ writing competition – and even more so when I met one of the winners who came from my constituency.
Can I invite all my colleagues at Westminster to get in touch with their Secondary Schools and ask them to be part of the Parliamentary Press Gallery writing competition. Young people won’t tell us what they think we the politicians should do if we can’t be bothered to ask them!"
