In an article with Platform Magazine, Frank discusses the obstacles facing young people who are keen to get involved with local politics. He also gives an insight into his experience as a young parish councillor. An excerpt of the inteview is copied below...
"The main thing for me is to inspire other young people to give it a go and get involved because that’s what we need. People think politics is really complicated, or their voice isn’t worthy, but as you get involved you realise that people are just as normal as you are and knows the same amount as you do. Nobody has infinite wisdom, we’re all just trying to get along and figure it out as we go. As you get involved you realise it isn’t as special as it looks.”
Frank said that more should be done for young people to have representation on the scene of local politics. Young people care about politics. There is so much that is going to impact our future and is impacting our future that we need to get involved with. Politicians don’t represent young people, and I don’t think that it’ll particularly change in the near future unless we, as young people, stand up and get involved. Our voice is worth just as much as anyone else’s.”
