Students aged between 16 and 19 were invited to submit blogs for this competition which is run In partnership with the Financial Times.

The topic was: “UK Parliament doesn’t look or sound like the rest of the country: should this change and, if so, how?”

We received some excellent entries!

 

The judges were looking for creative thinking and well-argued ideas as much as writing skills - and the winning entry will be published online by the FT and the PSA, as well as being printed in the PSA’s magazine Political Insight. 

You can see last year’s winning entry here.
