Today nine college and school pupils began their work as Members of Youth Parliament (MYP).
South Norfolk MYP is Isabella Pitman, 14, from Framingham Earl High School.
Manifesto: 'Young people are the future. Times are hard and it is now more important than ever to get young peoples' voices heard. I believe that young people have the ability to improve themselves and change the country for the better. I feel very strongly about young peoples' political education, I feel that young people should get the education to be informed about politics. This is the only way we can be heard.'
