Welsh Labour needs to focus on young people, say members
Briefly

At the recent Labour party conference in Llandudno, young Welsh members expressed strong beliefs that Labour represents the working class, affirming it as the party for those from 'normal backgrounds.' While many appreciate Labour's values designed for working people, they also voiced concerns that recent party decisions have not adequately addressed the interests of younger demographics. The conference underscored a desire for reforms within the party to enhance its appeal and relevance among younger voters, ensuring their voices and issues are prioritized.
One young member commented at the conference that "working people need Labour values in order to thrive," emphasizing the party's core dedication to the working class.
Another member noted, "It's the only party that has working class people in mind," highlighting the sense of authenticity and representation within Labour.
Some attendees expressed concerns, stating that recent decisions within Labour "haven't focused enough on young people," indicating a gap in outreach and engagement.
The overall sentiment among young Welsh Labour members is that while the party aligns with their values, significant change is necessary to appeal to their peers.
