• Power to make a difference - to influence decisions about things in young people's lives (eg: press perceptions of youth, local policy on sex education in Birmingham schools, government policy on voting age/tuition fees, safety and the police ...)
• Authority to speak on young people's behalf in meetings and committees eg: sex education scrutiny (current)
• Insights into how other young people think - sometimes a culture shock to candidates
• Opportunities for personal growth as they play a significant role in the adult world of politics, without patronisation; public speaking; public status;  so developing emotional intelligence and maturity, and respecting, listening to understanding others' needs
