For our young parents to have such access to someone in a decision making capacity in Wales is wonderful - and particularly inspiring for them that you are close to them in age. Your words of encouragement in you opening address touched so many chords, and showed us how much in touch you are. I really hope the young people will realise that they can have a stake in their future and that they can bring their issues to those who represent us. I hope they will vote. I hope they will see that politics is about “us” not “them”. Maybe we could bring them to the Senedd later in the year and see how close to us our very own decision makers are. Thank you for taking such time and care to listen to us, and to enthuse and inspire us. Thank you, also, to your researcher who participated so fully and made a thought provoking contribution to the discussion after the drama. And, Bethan - you got me blogging!
