Name: Kirsty
Palmer
Status:
Deputy MYP
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.
