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

Which political issues are you most passionate about?

I am most passionate about education, how it should be taught properly to educate young people in family issues, family structures and the damage to society caused by throw-away relationships.

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

Being mocked by adults; they make comedy programmes to publicly mock for entertainment purposes, because they don't understand us. Happy slapping - adults getting away with degrading youth.

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

To give young people a voice for their opinions and to make a difference to their lives. I want to listen to them when no one else will make them feel comfortable talking about their problems.

What is your future career ambition?

Military Correspondent as my sister is in the army in Iraq and my brother is in the navy. I don't want to go into the armed forces, I would like to be a journalist of some kind but still be linked to the armed forces.

Which public figure do you most admire and why?

Prince Harry as he is down to earth even though he is a member of the royal family. He is a rebel and does what normal young people do. He is no different even though he was born into the royal family.

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

I would ask them, why they spend our money fixing perfectly good roads when there are people who need housing and feeding and looking after? This could be done if the government used the money wisely, instead of making dental clinics go private because people can't afford check-ups. They spend their money on wrong things.
