Constituency: Wirral

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

Which political issues are you most passionate about?

I am interested and passionate about anti-racism, anti-bullying and equality. These issues are important to me because it's all about bringing the community together. Equality is the most important to me because I feel as teenagers we need to respect our elders but they need to respect us to, without discrimination or prejudice because of our age.

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

Bullying in its many forms. There is physical (the most obvious) and there is mental (the least obvious). This bullying can be in different ways too. Racism and discrimination/prejudice. I have been bullied myself so I know what it feels like and that is what has made me even more passionate about anti-bullying.

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

I would like to make people aware in my constituency about the UK Youth Parliament. Some people don't know it exists and they don't know they have someone to talk to if they have a problem. Also I would like to make young adults more interested in getting involved with politics.

What is your future career ambition?

I am not completely sure what I want to be just yet but I would like to be a Solicitor/Lawyer with my business. This way I can put something back into the community.

Which public figure do you most admire and why?

Bob Geldof, and other charity workers which give their own time. I think that what he has done for some countries is amazing.

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

You have given us voices now will you please listen to them? Don't make us empty promises.
