BREXIT has left the country feeling more divided than ever, but one MEP wants to do her bit to bring communities back together again.

While that division has impacted people of all generations, it is the young - including those who were prevented from having their say in the referendum due to their age - who have been left feeling as if they are being taken in a direction that many did not want.

But next month, those youngsters will be given an opportunity to have their say on Brexit and what it may mean for them.

Molly Scott Cato, the Green Party MEP for the South West, is organising a discussion roadshow for those aged between 16 and 21.

It will pull into Swindon on Saturday, November 4, and Molly wants young people from across the town to get involved.

“Whatever your views on Brexit, it’s very clear that the big divide in the country is not helping anyone," she said.

"I’m organising this event to see whether bringing people together, with a trained facilitator, will help young people express how they feel and be open to listening to the views of others.

“I have constituents writing to me all the time about Brexit, and as I will be voting in the European Parliament on the deal that the EU and UK government negotiate, it is very useful for me to hear the views of constituents directly.

"Getting people into a room to discuss their differences, find areas of agreement and identify where people need to know more gives us an opportunity to heal some of the divisions.”

The event will not seek to promote any particular political position or politician. Whether you voted leave, remain, couldn’t decide which way to vote or weren’t eligible to vote, if you are between 16 and 21, it could be your opportunity to find out more about Brexit and let your elected MEP know what you think about it.

Organisers say the aim of the event is not to push a particular stance.

"The students we’ve spoken to are very keen to hear a range of views and opinions," added Molly.

"They want a chance to get together with others to share their views, hear what other people think about Brexit and discuss the issues."

Other events in the roadshow have been aimed at those aged between 18 and 21, but after considering feedback, it was decided to make the Swindon visit more accessible.

“I was contacted by a young man who was unable to vote in the EU Referendum because he was a few months too young," explained Molly.

"He had done a massive amount of research and fact finding to understand the issues, and was bitterly disappointed not to have been able to vote.

"It’s become clear there are a lot of young people who really cared but were just not old enough to vote, had dropped off electoral registers or just found it incredibly difficult to know which way to vote.

"This is an opportunity for them to share their views, learn the perspectives of others and speak directly with someone who represents them in the EU Parliament.”

The event will take place on Saturday, November 4, at the Central Community Centre in the Railway Village.

Refreshments and food will be provided from 9.45am onwards; the event will begin at 10.00am and end at 12.30pm.

Anyone between the ages of 16 and 21 who is interested in attending is being asked to email poppy@mollymep.org.uk to register their interest.
