Name:
Amy McCabe
Status: MYP
Constituency: Lancashire

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

Which political issues are you most passionate about?

The issues that I'm most passionate about are education and the environment. I find the environment important as so much is being destroyed for businesses or housing. Living in a small village, it is easy to see just how companies are building up rural areas. Education is important to me, as it should be to everyone, as we wouldn't get too far if we weren't educated in some way. It surprises me how many young people don't enjoy learning.

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

The biggest issue for the young people in my constituency is transport. The rising prices and poor service quality has been a big problem for many years now.

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

I hope to make things happen for our generation. I'm fed up of waiting around for things to get done and I'm willing to do what it takes to get young people the respect that we deserve. If we work together, we can get ourselves out there and get our issues addressed.

What is your future career ambition?

I'm an aspiring Barrister. It's a career I've been interested in since the beginning of High School. I hope to finally take my place reading Law at Aberystwyth University in September.

Which public figure do you most admire and why?

The public figure I most admire is Jane Tomlinson. Even though she is a terminal cancer patient, she has performed some extraordinary feats of both strength and stamina whilst raising money to help other cancer patients. She's an inspiration to anyone.

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

My message to the government would be to pay more attention to young people and their opinions as one day it will be us running their country. They seem to forget that they were young once. If they want to ensure that their children grow up strong, healthy and educated, they should pay more attention to what they are doing to both the social and the physical environment. Otherwise the generations to come will be even worse than we apparently are.
