Which political issues are you
most passionate about?
There are so many things that matter
to me personally, mainly global issues that really tick me off,
such as this effort to always sustain constant war and all these
environmental problems we have going. But if I had to choose something
more closer to earth, then it would have to be either POLITICAL
AWARENESS around young dudes, or the way young people are sometimes
treated as complete bums who have nothing coming. We are also people
with views on things and who get effected by what arrogant and careless
adults do.
What do you feel is the biggest
issue for young people in your constituency?
I'd say it would be the lack of interesting,
new and exiting activities to do. I'm not talking about lame clubs
to join or anything, because that's not what I'm getting at either.
I'm talking about things you can just walk out of the door and DO,
no charge and no fee. It could be anything from rock climbing to
tight rope walking, whatever you want to do.
What do you hope to achieve during
your term of office?
If anything, the most important thing
to me is to achieve the support and confidence from every young
person in Sedgemoore and Mendip. Also to promote Youth Parliament
much more publicly than it is now, so guys will be able to recognise
it as a way to get themselves heard and know that there's a way
to do it.
What is your future career ambition?
Ha, this one's easy! Obviously it's
future runner of an office (think high!). Or a professional actor.
Acting's been my love since I can remember and I'm about to take
the road to stardom as a extra in a film (a comedy, set in the Tudor
period). Oh, or captain of the first English basketball team!
Which public figure do you most
admire and why?
It's got to be Michael Moore. A highly
political director who's won a Oscar for his latest documentary
'Fahrenheit 9\11', which I highly recommend. He's just such a extraordinary
man, who has constantly been fighting the American government in
a way which has never been seen before. He's the biggest thorn in
'Mr' George Bush's side.
If there was one message you could
send to the government, what would it be?
What you guys don't seem to notice
is when you, thousands die.
