Name:
Roberta Hoffman
Status: MYP
Constituency: West Sussex

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

Which political issues are you most passionate about?

My main concerns include all environmental issues and animal welfare including the live export trade of veil calf which has been reintroduced after a ten year ban. I also hold strong negative views about some animal testing. Another area I hold strong views on is the way in which we live in a stereotypical society and people are branded.

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

I think that in West Sussex young people need to be made more aware what our future is going to be like, focusing on the environment and how global warming will affect it.

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

I hope to raise more awareness of environmental issues and bring together young people across the UK to campaign for a better cleaner planet.

What is your future career ambition?

My future ambition is to work as a journalist and hopefully concentrate on political and environmental issues. I also want to rescue horses and donkeys which I know is a bit random but I have grown up around them and love them!

Which public figure do you most admire and why?

I think that a lot of people in the public eye do a lot of things to be admired, for example Prince Charles, who does a lot of work with young people. I don't have a preference to any single public figure.

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

Many of the decisions made by the government are unanimous and I think that they should try harder to work together. Obviously there will be a lot of controversy in government issues but if they aspired to be more diplomatic and open to all views then all the time they spent arguing could be used to make a better more united government, which young people could look up to.
