Name:
Maisie Mansfield
Status: MYP
Constituency:
Devon

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

Which political issues are you most passionate about?

I feel really strongly about the way young people are perceived. Some older people seem to talk down to us and say bad things without bothering to do anything about it or getting to know or helping us.

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

Two big issues for young people in my constituency is places to go and means to get there (public transport). It's all well and good having youth organisations being set up but as my region is mostly rural it is often difficult to get there.

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

I hope to make things better for young people, help them to have their say on things they feel strongly about and become an access point for their ideas. I would also like to make young people aware of their rights.

What is your future career ambition?

In the future I would like to go into politics. From what I've learnt so far it's all very interesting and great to have the power of influence. Although I would like to peruse an alternative career before entering politics perhaps something in fashion or design.

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

The message I would send to the government is that young people have views as well. We should be listened to and involved in decisions which are made.
