When not doing Plaid Cymru Youth work, how do you spend your time?

I like to play music, read and I’m also good at wasting time on Football Manager!

You’re hosting a special dinner and you get to invite any four people in the history of the world to join you. Who are the four and why?

1. Saunders Lewis – Literary and Political Hero.
2. Stephen Fry – I think he’s probably my all-round favourite human being.
3. Malala Yousafzai – Youngest ever winner of a Nobel Prize, she’s an inspiration to everyone fighting for women’s rights, equality and freedom from oppression.
4. Conan O’Brien – Possibly the funniest conversationalist on the planet, he’d keep the small talk running smoothly.

What made you join Plaid Cymru?

I had supported the party since I started feeling detached from the politics in Westminster. I realised that Plaid was saying the same as me about Westminster’s failure to adequately represent Wales. I finally became a member of the party when I discovered that all members get a say to shape the party’s direction so I joined in order to vote in the leadership contest that saw Leanne Wood become our party leader.
