Democracy

Josh Lee, Student Political Journalist

Hi there! My name is Josh, and my job is to research and interview about local democracy. Politics is in everything, from the bed you sleep on to the cereals you eat, and I want you as students, to get really involved in local democracy, cause it’s not just someone else’s life it affects it YOURS! By linking with local councillors and MP’s we hope to engage with this. We need your help, your issues and your questions to fuel this. We are the next generation! So let’s get involved, get our voice heard and get the change we need!
