Name:
Stefano Iacono
Status: MYP
Constituency: Bath and NE Somerset

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

Which political issues are you most passionate about?

The threat of dispersal zones really fires me up. Article 15 clearly states that children have the right to meet together - as long as they do not infringe on other people's rights. Dispersal Zones would mean the government would have the power to this right away from us.

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

The biggest issue for people in my constituency is definitely transport. From one town to the centre of the main city, (7 miles,) it costs £7 return for anyone 15 or older. Ridiculous!

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

I hope to lower transport prices, raise youth participation and create more leisure facilities for young people.

What is your future career ambition?

I hope to go to university to do a double honors degree involving French, then start a career that utilizes the language.

Which public figure do you most admire and why?

I would say Bob Geldoff is a figure worth admiration. Someone who puts in so much work for such a big cause with little self reward. If that's not worthy of admiration then what is?

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

Young people are the next generation, involve them. Not just in what you think will benefit us now, but anything that will affect our future. We're here, we're willing, so let us.

Additional comments:

I think the UKYP is great and I think that all young people should be aware of it. Spread the word!
