Temporary insanity. Without sounding too sappy, love doesnt need a cure. Love is about marriage. It is marriage that is immoral without love. Perhaps we should be focusing on reducing the uks high divorce rate rather than promoting marriage. The coalition for equal marriage is love is love regardless of gender. Well, i would add that love is love regardless of marital status. And while the majority of us, almost all of us absolutely believe in marriage for all his rate and yes, compared to some countries can bush legalize samesex marriage some years ago, i note that the u. K. Has been slow to act. If things are rapidly changing. The huge success of Civil Partnerships recognized commitment to samesex couples has been a capitalist for this change. David cameron has pledged to legalize samesex civil marriages by 2015. Abdallah before marriage will be introduced here in this chamber in a 10 minute speech. I accept this as a plot to talk about such an important issue, but its longer than ive got. Im at the parliament or a cynical access marriage, there is a danger that any campaign will be overtaken by the legal change we seek. I conclude we have three main priorities. Quality, quality, the National Campaign will not provide the equality we required. More importantly, more relevantly, where presently, ajit people seeking to make a positive contribution to society a fair access to education, employment and tranfour and indeed discrimination is the real challenge we face. Lets let them give us the opportunities they deserve. [applause] jack, thank you bring much indeed for the beach. I am looking for a contributor from the east midlands. Whoever thought . Please, welcome. Thank you, mr. Speaker. I agree with my fellow samesex marriage is an highly important issue and is widely spoken about as at present the case it would be one of our debates today. However, i feel it is a nonpowered young people can agree. Many kids in my constituency when i consorted them said yes it is the highest important topic. But when i went back to front of this county said they would want to see campaign. That shows that it was at the moment something being done about it. The mission of the government are saying in part of their manifestoes they want is to have been by 2015. I feel there is a more important issue in the debate last. They restarted their curriculum and now isnt the right time to look at samesex marriage. Thank you. [applause] food for thought for the east of england . Yes, gentlemen from east of of england. Thank you. I am part of a society that equal. As a matter if youre gay chemistry, man, woman, christian, muslim. However, theres a hurdle. It may just of them a safe language, but i believe passionately that the language is important. The weblog. If we want to encourage marriage to be important, which i believe it should, we need to have everyone regardless whether youre gay firstrate. Thank you. [applause] colleagues, my record show weve not yet heard from him and from yorkshire and humberside. That man is not itching to address them forward to hearing from you, sir. Leon cotler from north york shire. We are facing the campaign, not the issue. Equal marriage is very topical minis. I wonder why. This is because during those of organization of bringing to the forefront. So i ask you then, do we follow the crowd . Re innovative for duplicate this . We are ukyp and we are unique and that is why you should vote for some canals. [applause] who have what god wanting to speak from london . Can i take a young woman there. Youre about to hop you were so enthusiastic. Surgeon of the. Everyone is the world and thats the way things should be. However, there is too many different controversies can gain this issue. Theres too many different more reasons and to many religious freedom but not everyone is going to agree on. Or not to debate about whats writer with strong. We have to debate on what is more important for young people, for us. Im not going to be getting married now because it doesnt concern me, but this debate is about the adult and thats what the adult and should be debating, not us. We are people are representing young people in a constituency. The quality of us with this motion is sent. Thank you. [applause] okay, who have we got from wales . Now, what about the women with the green dress. And alex hopkins. This is quite important, but more for the older generation because it concerns them. If you want to get married at 16, you can get a Civil Partnership. But is it really a main issue for us young people . How can that really extends to marriage . If we were older sitting here, it would be about the same issue, then yes the good. Thank you. [applause] weve still yet to hear from a man and a woman from Northern Ireland. Committee so . Norlin government. It is essential marriages in our u. K. Parliament of the manifesto appeared via . Because u. K. Youth parliament should stand up as a beacon for democracy. We should strive for quality of samesex marriages. Some of the medical system, but ultimately i believe in the 21st century members of the Lgbt Community should not be scared to be fair across the u. K. No matter where youre from, london, Northern Ireland, scotland. There is gay people. But wheres your brother, sister, friend, we need to represent the young people who battle with their orientation. Id u. K. Youth parliament, lets change society together and lets change it now. [applause] sewickley graduates to see from the West Midlands . Okay, thank you. Everyones talking about the generation and how they should be the ones talking about this, but were going to grow up. Will affect us in some way anyway. So if this possibility more accepted in nairobi last time and so teenagers will be happy knowing that they are older they are not going to be discriminated against because its expected and theyll be able to know theyre going to be able to marry and be who they want to be. So if you pass a, it will affect everyone really. [applause] what about the northeast of england . Hubley got from in the northeast . What about the gentlemen here . Thank you. Referred this is a very sensitive issue, but it initiate has to be addressed. Weve heard today we dont have people behind, transport was one of them. The posterity of Political Parties process with the opportunity. We need to nurture that opportunity. We need to go forward. We need to stand together in britain, a country that is a steep increase in across the world. We must stand together and take to change for tomorrow. We need to represent todays generation that will be tumorous generation of this getting married. Thank you. [applause] what about the northwest . Who gets here from the northwest . What about the young woman with the white jacket looking around. I am from roxio. I believe its an issue and it is quite extensive piece they appear you were to get married any dignified your house, how would you cope living on a wager fewer 16 to 18 . I mean, if it does being produced like the opposition says, should we introduce a new campaign . Thank you. [applause] okay, well take another speaker. But about this gentleman on the front bench below the game boy sp call it. Well, first of all sorry. [inaudible] okay, first of all, i along with them sure the majority of young people across the u. K. Believe everyone has the right to equal marriage. If two people want to express their love for each other, they should be able to do so in a way that they can. No matter what their sex. However, promised a million million unemployed young people, is equal marriage really the issue the parliament wants to campaign on . As was previously mentioned, only 0. 1 of u. K. Marriages take place below the age of 20. If we were to adopt this campaign, would be campaigning on an issue that affects the majority of adult, but very few young people. In addition to this, you can only get married after your 16th birthday. So if we adopted this motion, we would instantly be excluded on the 11th 15yearold in which we dutifully represent. [applause] and i myself is a 15yearold would find that incredible insult. So, if you believe in equal marriage, but you think there are more important issues to campaign on, such as our education, such as their future and such is our opportunities in the world of work and getting to school on time, please do not vote for this issue. Thank you. [applause] what about the east midlands . Who have we got from east midlands who wishes to contribute . Indeed. Natalie robinson from nottingham. I think gay marriage is such a crucial issue. In my constituency, a lot of people would agree with that. However, i think not so much of a National Issue should be made of this. People should focus on a regional level and i challenge my fellow ukyp members to go to their local areas and campaign against this. Thank you eric [applause] what about southeast . Who have wycoff in the southeast . You should easiest and from the southeast. Thank you. Graininess kate dublin from faulkner. Were trying to represent young people here and im starting to think this constituency doesnt think this would represent all young people. We are saying that people may not like it. So what does pass, people can still discriminate, even if its not nice camaro is going to get this people that are very heterosexual. So you should not pass this notion if you think people are going to accept it because at the end the day, not everyone is always going to be happy. [applause] fabric of a young man from wales . Yes, what about the chap sleeping there is to be with ponytail . Terry jackson. The quality. Can you please put your hands up if you believe in equality . How is that if two men want to get married go to a church agip refused, while two people who are street get married you quote . Thats all. [applause] thank you. Im trying to see if theres an underrepresented region. Every region has contributed so far. So the young woman with blond hair. Thank you, mr. Speaker. Emily carter. I believe marriage for all should be the main priority for next year. I believe it is important for our society to allow this to become reality. I have an incredible amount of people to communicate. The Uks Parliament tried to make me reach for a reality its an important thing for the people future. Young people want to marry whoever they want regardless of gender. This is key for the future in some you should be brought into the light to allow them to have a free choice. We are allowing marriage our change and hope she peoples lives. Ive been a priority to do exactly that. Why is it as a culture we are comfortable seeing two men holding guns than two Men Holding Hands . [applause] how big a young man from the West Midlands . Please. Thank you, mr. Speaker. Can i just first say your shoes have caught my eye. [laughter] i may be taking them back with me. Earlier this week, the youth cabinet organized a debate evening and wednesday this week and there were a few issues raised by support. Number one is the religion has totally for ben for gay people to get married. Second of all we have others who did mention earlier about equal opportunity that every person has the right to get married regardless of whether they are male or female. The last plane like to make it say what this young person who can say to to me they shouldnt have been voted for the make your mark ballot. Instead it should have been young people and the police, which is by far more important. Thank you. [applause] and im not just to say because they see a small number of people standing up who have spoken before and i welcome your csm, but in fairness to people who havent had a chance to speak, i need to be looking for those who have not spoken before the debate. The woman in the back row. Yes, it is you. I am representing. It is love, care and dedication between two people. If those two people know they love each other, is it unfair to say they need to have it written on paper and writing on paper for his love more important. There are other issues were important we are facing which need to be addressed. Please do not vote although i agree its a sensitive issue, it is not one that must be chosen. They must be looking at issues. Thank you. Pop back okay, what about this young man here. I am 13 myself. I do not believe that anybody my age could you start fresh with name and region. Sorry. Myself i would not like to be bombarded by saying you could be married, blah, blah. These are when youre older, 16, 17, 18. People are very sensitive and im not saying that gay, nothing like that. Nothing bad about that. When you want to be married, you dont need a piece of paper for love. Love is something you can enjoy with anybody. I love everybody here, youre all my friends, that sort of thing. You can love whoever you would like. [applause] it does not matter whether you have a piece of paper that says ball, blah, blah. It does not matter at all whether you married women or men. This way i would love you not to vote this is our issue for this year. Thank you. [applause] will put out . Were running out of time. Whoever got from london . Young woman in the patent top. Indeed. Shirleys members the Uks Parliament we should be fighting to concurrently say we do not discriminate when it comes to our definition of equality and who would toss. Thank you. [applause] will take a couple more. Let me see, whove we got quite certain that the young man at the back of the metal . [inaudible] we are all human beings and it shouldnt matter if you are street or something. It makes the young people and older generations listen and may improve that. Thank you. [applause] okay, this young man here. Spin that my name kate maas in the southeast. Weve all talked about how its an important issue for when we are older and im so pleased somebody has pointed out for a number of people where the future. We will be older soon, so it is an issue that affects us. Theres so much i can talk about on this topic, so im going to try and keep it quite short. We talked about the community. Might i point out the end of that comment the tea part, the often silent portion of what you want to call it. If a person is married before the legally change their gender to some of the biological sex unfairness of a partnership to summit of the same biological sex, they are required to legally dissolve their marriage or Civil Partnership before theyre allowed to change the gender. Can i just say how this is a perfect example why whether we call it a Civil Partnership. We dont want to exclude anybody. Were talking about equality. Why cant we think and include everybody and dont be about anyone in silence . [applause] im sorry, theres huge demand, blueprints that the overt. I really must now call to include the debate from Northern Ireland, mr. Jack mckeon. [cheers and applause] thank you for your kind words, mr. Speaker and of course its appreciated. Members of the parliament together collected over 250,000 ballot papers. [cheers and applause] marriage for all of the species from young people feel strongly about typepad and open, honest, frank and dignified debate here today and i think that is a tribute to young people about how we cannot decide or youth voice. Weve had loads and the law. Today, members have been saint equal marriage means equal rights for equal opportunities. Surely we must highlight the changes needed in the marital law in a truly inclusive society. Whether you are gay, not or should you have to enter a battle between your romance and the states. Ms. Morley report and that in britain today, inclusion has been left behind and racial and religious inclusion has come so far. However, members have rightly asked, could it be a Successful Campaign . Youth parliament have gone through the trial and tribulations of this process already, and i think we should commend him on not. [applause] also, the government by 2015 insure that is a pledge no party will want to break. Furthermore, the bill previously mentioned shows there will be a reality soon, so why cant aim for a full year next year when they can focus on the vital practical issues . Transport, education, work from the members parliament. Should we not try and entice young peoples lives in the depths of Economic Uncertainty and educational and people, we must contribute to the express solution of our problems. We cannot endanger the young people of today are becoming a generation of the past. I want you to think the National Campaign for next year. Are you an mip part to calida your virtue . Thank you. [cheers and applause] thank you indeed for that speech. That includes the morning session were sitting. The Youth Parliament will now adjourn until 1 30 p. M.

Order, order Previous Parliament will consider the fourth motion of today, relating to an equal National Minimum wage for all s. Printed on the order paper. To move the motion, i call from the east midlands, mr. Martin burnham. [cheers and applause] thank you, mr. Speaker. I have a friend in my constituency who works in a shop stacking shelves on saturday. He gets paid three pounds 68 an hour. Yes theres also an over 21 who works in exactly the same shop getting paid six pounds 19 an hour. Bear in mind is the exactly same job. Is it fair . Is it equal . Is that right . Who are they to put a price on our equality . Who are they to tell people that because of the date of your birth you cannot away as much doing the same job as another person, an older person. Thats not fair. Thats not equal. That is not right. I used to subscribe to the view that having an equal minimum wage for all, with hundreds of more young people being unemployed, but you know what . I was wrong. The European Commission found that increasing the minimum wage did not caught off job officers. It decreases the number of People Living in poverty and increases the wellbeing of the earner. That would be fairer. That would be equal and that would be right. There are 3
