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!
