Constituency:
South Gloucester

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

Which political issues are you most passionate about?

There are quite a few. Primarily the issue of bullying and racism, something I strongly believe needs continued effort in attempting to alleviate it. Road safety is an important one, far too many young persons and teenagers are killed each year on our roads. Better recreational facilities would be of huge benefit to all. And finally transport links including lower priced tickets/concessions cars for those under the age of 18.

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

By far the biggest issue for most young people is improved recreational facilities. The number one complaint is simply there is not enough to do on evenings and weekends.

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

I hope to mainly listen to the youths within the South Gloucestershire constituency and do my best to tackle the issues they deem most important. This will involve appropriate circulation in order to gain a better insight into the collective opinion of this constituency.

What is your future career ambition?

Currently I am considering taking a joint course at university in economics and politics. I'm sure this question is a simple way of seeing if secretly I want to be Prime Minister one day, and to be honest, I wouldn't mind that one bit.

Which public figure do you most admire and why?

I most admire business mogul Donald Trump. Here is a man with seemingly average intelligence, all the charisma of a bull terrier, and a hair piece shocking enough to scare anyone from closing a business deal. Yet through sheer determination he has built an empire, admired the world over. He offers inspiration to us all; a little bit of effort, and refusing to never give in, will take you a long way.

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

At the moment it would probably be something simplistic and vague like the youths of today need more government attention. The main problem most youths have is not enough recreational activities to pass the time on evenings and weekends. It is something the government could quite easily look into and make a huge difference.

Additional comments:

I genuinely would like to thank all the people that voted for me. I will honestly try my best to keep up campaign promises and listen to what my constituency has to say. This is a great opportunity to make a difference and rest assured, I will not waste it.
