-------------------------------------------------------- Which political issues are you most passionate about? The Political issue I am most passionate about is youth homelessness in the UK. This is for a couple of reasons, mainly because it is something every young person should be able to relate to and show empathy for, and it is constantly on the rise as I recently found out - there are more than 100,000 young people sleeping on the streets every year because they have no other choice. Wouldn't that make you passionate about something? What do you feel is the biggest issue for young people in your constituency? What I believe to be the biggest issue in my constituency is isolation, as most of the young people in my area live in small communities and villages a fair distance from any decent facilities. And with increasing public transport fares it's getting increasingly difficult for them to foot the costs to travel every week. What do you hope to achieve during your term of office? During my term I hope to work towards lowering the cost on public transport to solve the above issue, and to set up a network of youth forums, that will coincide with those already existing and to link each of the schools and youth centres / projects in the area. What is your future career ambition? My Future career plans are to do a couple of years missionary work in a country such as Africa or Asia helping those in a position that seems to them hopeless, and then to settle into a job I can prepare for in 6th form over the next 2 years. Which public figure do you most admire and why? I wouldn't really say I admire a public figure. I never get why it's always a public figure you have to admire, though just recently I started to realise, how great a person I used to know was who sadly passed away after suffering for 16 years with AIDS. The main reason for this is, he had a true ambition to relate with people his age and when well enough he came into school and was able to light up a room when he entered it. As mentioned he was suffering with AIDS but he gave it a hell of a fight and I think the local papers reported him as one of the only children from Africa that had survived so long from birth with the condition. So that just goes to show it isn't always public figures you have to admire If there was one message you could send to the government, what would it be? Just one? Hmm I'd probably ask where the red button is but that's because I'm curious like that. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- East
