Southampton

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

Which political issues are you most passionate about?

I am most passionate about law and society and bullying because there is so much to be done in law and society, it's such a wide topic. And bullying because I believe every one of us have been bullied at some point, just some worse than others. There are such extreme things happening because of bullying, it's something endless with no answer, however we keep searching for one.

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

I believe that the biggest issue for young people in my area is money, health and anti-social behaviour because that's what they tell me. Southampton is over populated with secondary schools and there are so many gangs for each estate, and therefore the issues that they want sorted are what you might call "typical" teenager issues.

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

In my term of office I hope to make a big mark, so the young people remember me even if it is only for one thing. I also hope to leave a big mark for Southampton city youth parliament, so everyone knows them and what we do.

What is your future career ambition?

Right now I am not sure. There are so many things I could do, and am currently looking at many jobs to find the right one for me.

Which public figure do you most admire and why?

Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King, they stood up for what is right no matter what was going to happen, and stood up for rights of the people. Who better?

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

Watch out! Because the youth of today are starting to realise that they're important too, and as a result rightfully want to be listened too. The government have never really listened before, and the youth of today and tomorrow are only going to get stronger.
