In our tenth and final episode of Series 1, Alma-Constance and Lucinda speak to Darren Jones, the MP for Bristol North West, about his job as a Member of Parliament.

Darren discussed his move from being a lawyer who puts the laws into practice, and becoming a politician. As a MP, Darren is in a position to discuss, change and introduce new laws, and in order to represent the views of all the people who live in his constituency, he takes the time to listen to the voices of not just adults, but children too.

In England and Wales, the legal voting age is 18. This means that the voices of those under 18 are often not taken into account when a new government is voted in. Scotland has now changed the voting age to 16, and Darren explains why he thinks this is something that should also happen in England and Wales.

If you live in Darren’s constituency, Bristol North West, you can contact him and raise any issues via email at darren.jones.mp@parliament.uk
