Politics and the role of an MP: Sixth Form Discussion

Ed Vaizey, MP for Wantage & Didcot and Digital Media Minister, came to speak to Wallingford School Sixth Form students last Friday about his dual roles as both a constituency MP and a Minister in the government. It was really interesting to hear him speak about the advantages and problems of juggling these two important positions. He also raised the importance of voting in the upcoming general election this May, and how every vote can make a difference to the eventual outcome, as it is currently such a close race between the parties. Overall it was a fantastic talk, and we look forward to inviting him and the other constituency candidates back to the school for the Sixth Form election debate on Friday 24th April.
