Last chance to be the Youth MP for Otaki
Otaki MP Nathan Guy is urging local young people to get their applications in for Youth Parliament 2010, as the deadline approaches on Wednesday March 10th.
“I’m expecting a good response with a lot of hits on my website downloading the application form,” said Mr Guy.
“This is a great opportunity for anyone aged 16 to 18 with an interest in politics. The successful candidate will sit in my seat in Government, taking part in the Parliamentary process and debating major issues with other young people from around the country.”
Applicants are asked why they want to be a Youth MP, what skills and attributes they have for the role, and what they think are the most important issues for young people in the Kapiti/Horowhenua region.
An application form is available online at www.nathanguy.co.nz and has been sent to local colleges. Those short listed will be interviewed by Mr Guy, and a winner announced on March 26th.
