Status: MYP
Constituency:
Bournemouth

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

Which political issues are you most passionate about?

Voter apathy in particular where young people are concerned as the older generation generally have better voter turnout, as the government caters more to their views and opinions. If most people do not vote, the democracy of the country is at risk.

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

Bullying is a key issue which affects young people in our constituency as it can affect young people for the rest of their life and can have serious repercussions in their adult life.

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

During my term of office I hope to tackle bullying in schools and help to make Bournemouth a more young-people friendly town.

What is your future career ambition?

In the future I would like to pursue a career in politics as I feel that the country seriously needs some changes being made for the better.

Which public figure do you most admire and why?

I generally admire people who do what they believe to be the right thing even if public opinion is against them. For this reason, I admire Tony Blair, because even though I do not agree with his policies and ideas I think that he knows nobody really supports him anymore but he is continuing to do what he thinks is right.

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

Stop worrying about internal disputes and do the job you were elected to do.
