Introduction
On the 13th November 2015 Members of the UK Youth Parliament (UKYP) will come together to
debate and decide at the UKYP House of Commons sitting the most important issues to campaign
on for the year ahead. The sitting will mark the launch of Parliament Week. The issues they will
debate were decided upon via the ‘Make Your Mark’ public vote for 11 to 18 year olds across the
United Kingdom based on a shortlist of topics voted upon by Members of the Youth Parliament from
their manifesto.
This report details the results of ‘Make Your Mark’. The UK Youth Parliament is managed by the
British Youth Council, a youth-led charity which aims to empower young people across the UK to
have a say and be heard.
Every year the UK Youth Parliament holds a UK-wide ballot called ‘Make Your Mark’, where all young
people can vote on what they think Members of the Youth Parliament should campaign on for the
year ahead.

Top Five issues
1. A Living Wage
Everyone should be able to live comfortably. Everyone aged 16 or over should be paid at least the
Living Wage of £7.85 per hour (£9.15 in London).
2. A Curriculum to prepare us for life
Schools should cover topics including finance, sex and relationships and politics in the curriculum.
3. Transport
Make public transport cheaper, better and accessible for all.
4. Mental health
Services should be improved with young people’s help and mental health education should be
compulsory and challenge stereotypes.
5. Tackling racism and religious discrimination, particularly against
people who are Muslim or Jewish
All young people should work together to combat racism and other forms of discrimination, and
ensure we know the dangers of such hatred.
