-------------------------------------------------------- Which political issues are you most passionate about? Votes at 16, improving the NHS, and every child matters - including facilities and UNCRC Article 12 compliance, and the improvement of Public Transport. What do you feel is the biggest issue for young people in your constituency? Public transport and youth facilities. What do you hope to achieve during your term of office? A better local bus service, to effectively promote the views of my constituents, and to help the plans underway for more youth provision. What is your future career ambition? To study politics and law, and so to become a politician and / or a barrister. Although I also plan on obtaining qualifications in technical theatre. Which public figure do you most admire and why? None, I don't believe in idolising public figures, but I do admire some people in my local community that really help improve the community and educate young people, particularly Tim Bond, Percy Ferrao, and Steve Andrews. If there was one message you could send to the government, what would it be? Improve the chance for under 18s to have their say on issues, even if that includes letting 16 year olds vote in elections, local or national. Additional comments: I run the Bury St Edmunds Youth Council, and attend the St Edmundsbury Youth Forum, as well as sit on the youth board of connexions Suffolk (Parallel board). I also sit on the Steering Group for the Big Idea, a group involved in the development of a new Children and young peoples centre, including offices for organisations like UKYP, NCB, and Wizz Kidz. I therefore like to find views related to many aspects of young people's lives and so hope to be able to represent the views of young people in many ways on many issues, in many places.
