Guto Bebb MP commends Sky News for its latest initiative, the Stand Up Be Counted campaign. The campaign aims to encourage more young people to engage with politics and the matters that affect their everyday lives. In the lead up to next year’s General Election the Stand Up Be Counted website encourages young people to share their views on key issues. The Stand Up Be Counted website contains open platforms for young people to blog about their political experiences. The campaign is also looking to work with schools across the UK to help explain politics and democracy in the UK to young people. More information can be found at the Stand Up Be Counted website, https://standup.news.sky.com/app .
Guto Bebb, MP for Aberconwy commented: “I’m very pleased to hear about this innovative campaign being launched by Sky. It is very important that people seek to engage with our democratic political process and I whole-heartedly commend Sky for taking the initiative.”
