BYC General Election Manifesto

Challenge politicians to make five key changes to improve young people’s lives.

Through a General Election Manifesto created by the youth-led British Youth Council (BYC), young people in the UK are letting MPs and Prospective Parliamentary Candidates know exactly what they want, and show society they can make their voices heard.

The five priority actions are featured in the Manifesto, Our Parliament, Our Vision, created by young people for young people are:

• Lower the voting age to 16
• Support a national youth transport card that offers young people a third off public transport fares
• Create an equal national minimum wage for everyone over 16
• End child poverty in the UK by 2020
• Invest in comprehensive mental health services for young people.
