-------------------------------------------------------- Which political issues are you most passionate about? The issue which concerns me most is education. I feel that the curriculum needs to be closely revised and refined taking out things that are there purely to look good on paper i.e. key skills in colleges. Another issue I feel strongly about is equal rights for young people in practise as well as just theoretically. What do you feel is the biggest issue for young people in your constituency? I feel in Brentwood the biggest issue for young people is leisure activities. There is a huge gap in the market for young people specifically between the ages of 15 and 20. I have personally been involved in various forms of campaigning and discussion to save and restore good feelings towards the skatepark and its users and that is one of the few realistically appealing things to do for young people in my constituency. What do you hope to achieve during your term of office? At this stage I am not entirely decided as to what issues I want to attack in my term of office, but one thing I am definitely aiming to achieve is an understanding of how to get things done most effectively and with minimal hesitation, something I think the current government has great need to address. What is your future career ambition? I wish to have a legal career and then to move onto being an MP. Although at the moment I am still very likely to change my ambitions and views on a career. Which public figure do you most admire and why? I would say the public figure I admire the most rather controversially is Boris Johnson. I admire him firstly because of his manner and I think that whilst his private life seems to be a scandal he has managed to keep face amazingly well and keep quite a high level of public respect despite past issues. And he deserves respect for his amazing knowledge as his programmes on Rome have demonstrated. Mostly I believe he has been unfairly cut short in his career as an MP for an issue that I don't personally feel effects his judgement or credibility as a professional. If there was one message you could send to the government, what would it be? If I could say one thing to today's government it would be; being a multicultural society and embracing other religions is a big step forward, however forgetting your own culture and denying your own heritage is a far bigger step back. And I feel the balance needs to be found again. It's got to the point now where you can't say something perfectly legitimate without being told it's politically incorrect, and this is directly taking away freedom of speech. This can't continue! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- East
