A SOMERSET MP swapped stories from the campaign trail during a visit to a school in his constituency.
Adam Dance (Lib Dem, Yeovil) met staff and pupils at Perrott Hill Prep School during a recent visit.
Enjoying fish and chips in the Dining Hall, the MP chatted to four Year 8 pupils who stood as candidates during our school ‘mock election’ in June.
He then witnessed a debate in action, as the children from Year 3 upwards gathered to hear the Year 8 pupils discuss the motion, ‘Should the Monarchy be abolished?’.
Mr Dance spoke about his role in Parliament, before taking questions from the floor, including “What do you think of your fellow politicians?” and “What was the first thing you did after being elected?”

Daisie in Year 8, who was acting as ‘Head for the day’ having won a school election at the end of last year, said: “Adam was very easy to talk to.”
A school spokesperson added: “It was a very interesting visit for everyone concerned, and we hope to welcome Adam back to Perrott Hill again soon.”
