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

Which political issues are you most passionate about?

The political issues that I am most passionate about have to be education and youth facilities. I feel that education including sex education and personal skills are very important for young people. In addition to this young people need a place where they can go and socialise outside of school.

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

The biggest issue the young people in my constituency face is a lack of facilities for young people. In Bolton there is a need for cheap, accessible facilities for young people.

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

In my term of office I hope to achieve a large improvement in the quality of facilities for young people. In addition to this I hope to raise awareness of politics and local issues to young people and I also want to improve the stereotype of young people in Bolton and Britain.

What is your future career ambition?

My future career ambition is to become a Member of Parliament and to one day become the Prime Minister of England.

Which public figure do you most admire and why?

The public figure I admire the most is Bob Geldof. I admire Bob Geldof as he gives up large amounts of his time to try and help people that are less fortunate than him.

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

If I could send one message to the Government it would be to listen to the young people of Britain. Young people are important too and have a large part to pay in this country's population.
