-------------------------------------------------------- Which political issues are you most passionate about? I am passionate about free travel for students. It can currently cost large amounts of money for anyone over 16 to travel to and from school. This is mainly due to fact that they are considered adults, but I feel this is unfair as they may still be in full time education and so are unable to have a job and so do not have the money to pay for expensive public transport. I am also passionate about the stereotyping of young people in the media. What do you feel is the biggest issue for young people in your constituency? I feel safety is quite a big issue in my constituency, although the level of violence and crime does vary across Hertfordshire. But I feel it is important for all young people to know how to stay safe and keep out of trouble. What do you hope to achieve during your term of office? I hope to increase the awareness of the cost of travel for students, the portrayal of young people in the media and safety for young people. I hope to move these issues up the political agenda so they can be seriously considered and hopefully rectified. What is your future career ambition? I hope to be a doctor but will always remain interested in politics. Which public figure do you most admire and why? I really admire Winston Churchill as he stuck to his guns, even when public opinion was against him. He alone saw through Hitler's promises although he was ridiculed at the time. I think that too many politicians today worry about pleasing the general public instead of focusing on altering things for the better, even if at first public opinion is against them. If there was one message you could send to the government, what would it be? Young people below the voting age are still important. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- East
