Which political issues are you most passionate about?

I strongly believe that 16-18 year olds in full time education should not pay adult prices on public transport. Firstly we don't earn enough money to afford to pay the higher prices as we don't have the spare time to work, and secondly being under 18, you are not considered an adult in the eyes of the law, and do not experience the benefits of being one, and therefore you shouldn't have to pay adult prices.

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

I also believe this is the public transport issue, as this was written in mine, and my deputy's manifestos that the young people in Rushmoor and Hart voted on, and the two of us were voted in so I believe that the youth of our area feel the same.

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

I hope to make a positive difference for the young people within Rushmoor and Hart.

What is your future career ambition?

Either to be a lawyer, a politician, or something history related.

Which public figure do you most admire and why?

Martin Luther King because he stood up for what he believed in, was unshaken under threat, and continued to fight peacefully. I think the fact he remained peaceful, even though, at times, it looked as though the treatment of African Americans was going to remain unfair.

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

I think that I would say that they're doing a good job- you can't keep everyone happy all the time so really they do quite well to keep most people happy!
