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

Which political issues are you most passionate about?

I am most passionate about international matters. That's why I ran for the international select committee. I think that asylum is one of my biggest issues as I want to remove the stereotype.

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

I think that the biggest issue from a young person's perspective is the stereotype that they have. We need to remove this stereotype by working closer with the media. And promoting young people's achievements.

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

I hope to remove young people's stereotypes. Educate people of asylum seekers and refugees, letting them realise the difference. Get better links with charities etc to increase awareness of fair trade.

What is your future career ambition?

I hope to be working as an outdoor education/adventure sports teacher. I am currently doing a national diploma in outdoor education and then onto a degree. In the far future I might consider getting involved in politics.

Which public figure do you most admire and why?

ORLANDO BLOOM. Jesse McCartney, Lee Ryan, Chad Michael Murray, David Beckham, Josh Harnett, Shayne Ward and Wade Robson. Because they're all hot!

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

GET A GRIP. You're working for the people not for yourselves! So do what's best for the people and not your reputation.

Additional comments:

Look forward to working for and with the young people from across the UK. It's going to be a great year and hopefully do it again next year as well. Cheers xxadzxx
