Name: Becky
Holloway
Status:
MYP
Constituency:
Wiltshire
--------------------------------------------------------
Which political issues are you
most passionate about?
Talking to people. I don't think the
majority of politicians have enough contact with the 'real world'
and this stops them from knowing the everyday issues that affect
the majority of the population.
What do you feel is the biggest
issue for young people in your constituency?
Public transport. Wiltshire is a really
rural county and public transport, is therefore crucial for getting
around, (especially buses). Prices are far too high and in many
cases, links between towns and villages don't exist.
What do you hope to achieve during
your term of office?
I'd love to make all youth centres
in Wiltshire stock fair trade products. I just want to come away
able to pinpoint one thing that I know I've done.
What is your future career ambition?
Something in Local Government, I'm
not sure yet. In many respects, local government has more impact
on the lives of the general public and that's where my priorities
lie.
Which public figure do you most
admire and why?
I don't really have a particular person
in mind, but in my opinion anyone who is prepared to speak up for
what they believe is right and not just say what they're expected
to, should be admired.
If there was one message you could
send to the government, what would it be?
Since OAPs and teenagers are in the
same situation in regards to transport, (can't drive, have very
little income,) why is it that OAPs have free bus passes and teenagers
don't even get a reduced rate?
