Status: MYP
Constituency: Thurrock

--------------------------------------------------------

Which political issues are you most passionate about?

Nationally I'm very passionate about Home affairs, anything regarding the politics of the Home Office including law and order, asylum and immigration etc. Locally I'm very passionate about the environment.

What do you feel is the biggest issue for young people in your constituency?

In Thurrock young people ask me about public transport more than any other issue, especially the debate of prices of tickets for young people and when it is right for companies to charge them adult fares. It is something which impacts on all young people and is the hottest topic for us.

What do you hope to achieve during your term of office?

This is my second year involved with the UKYP and I will be hoping to continue working on the projects I started last year. These include the establishment of Thurrock's first youth cabinet which works alongside the local authority, and encouraging young people to get involved locally to improve their communities.

What is your future career ambition?

My career ambition is to be an MP for Thurrock because I could earn money for what I love to do as well as represent the people in my local community in Parliament.

Which public figure do you most admire and why?

The public figure I most admire is Roger Moore. A political figure - it has to be Margaret Thatcher.

If there was one message you could send to the government, what would it be?

Get your act together!
