The Me bit,

So, what don’t you agree with?

I am embarrassed by the things I see and hear from politicians and powerful people.

This is what is driving me to do something. I personally think it is scary that my children will be passed a mess and if all I accomplish is a ripple of responsibility, well, that will still be a worthy achievement. If others do the same, and I believe others are trying, then that will be better than just watching and do nothing.

Politics then???

Well, I guess this is the place to start.

Crikey – Imagine telling me at 14 I’d be doing this in the future!

I will give the politicians the benefit of the doubt that they don’t mean any harm, but that does not excuse them. We must all get better to make them better. It will force them to improve and justify the trust you give them. I think that’s a good thing to do.

The younger generation are my motivation, so my first aim is to make the local council youthful. We must all be challenged to think differently, and youth will bring that.

Younger Generations have the drive and innovation to change their environment for the better. They will carry the future, so let’s get them involved earlier.

In my experience the older generation hold on to too much power and authority while not being able to see the issues they cause younger generations. Is this new?

No, ironically, ‘’put yourself in their boots’’ is a classic saying they use themselves, and then show the consistent inability to see your point of view.

This is a continual human system that needs to be balanced. This injection of youth will challange our habits and question our understanding of why we do things, and that is really healthy. This balance stops us going around in circles and trying to re-invent the wheel.

It’s about life and evolvement, not control to stay the same. You can make it more complicated if you want, people do, but it’s not.

For me it is simple, time is in the hands of younger generations, they have the real power.

The gift of older generations is to balance and guide, with experience and wisdom.

I look forward to the day when a person under 30 years old is elected over me, the perfect result.

So, what don’t you agree with?

We must all take responsibility for our local community.

We must all be part of it in equal measure.

We all need everyone’s input.
