-------------------------------------------------------- Which political issues are you most passionate about? I feel very strongly about letting young people vote at 16 as it allows young people to take part in decision making. Fair-trade is also on my agenda for action and I'm looking at working with local businesses in one of the towns in my constituency and aiming to make it a fair-trade town. Another issue I feel strongly about is the mosquito system that is being used to stop teenagers hanging around outside shops. What do you feel is the biggest issue for young people in your constituency? I feel that transport and safety on public transport is an issue in Sunderland, I also think that the image of young people is a real issue too. What do you hope to achieve during your term of office? I hope to work with local businesses to make Houghton a fair trade town, I am also working on "We're all ears" campaign which will let young people have there voices heard and acted on. I will be working with the council and MPs, campaigning against the Mosquito system used against teenagers hanging around shops. I will make sure that the young people of Sunderland are listened to! What is your future career ambition? At the minute I'm not really sure what I'd want to do. Which public figure do you most admire and why? Nelson Mandela as I think he is really inspiring and stood up for what he believed in no matter what faced him. If there was one message you could send to the government, what would it be? Make a u-turn on city academies as it is giving the opportunity for people to hijack education by setting up academies and funding schools. The academies in the North East have shown that results don't improve by them. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- East
