-------------------------------------------------------- Which political issues are you most passionate about? I am most passionate about international relations between our country and the others in the world. It is in this arena that we, as a country, are most active at the moment. The international War on Terror which we and the U.S. are involved in will dominate the political stage for the next decade; the aftermath of Iraq and Afghanistan is just now being realised. What do you feel is the biggest issue for young people in your constituency? The biggest issue for young people in my constituency is probably issues like the environment and getting young people the vote. The environment, and all that is being done to it at present, will have serious consequences for the next generation of workers and leaders. What do you hope to achieve during your term of office? I hope to generate a greater understanding of the world around us in younger people during my term. Politics is not the boring thing that people believe it is; it affects everything in the world. What is your future career ambition? I really don't know. I would enjoy being a politician in the future, though. Which public figure do you most admire and why? There are many in public life that I have admiration for: Blair - he does stand up for what he believes, which takes some courage; Dr John Reid - I don't really know why but I like the guy, he always actually answers a question on the news, which is different to most government ministers. If there was one message you could send to the government, what would it be? The government needs to begin to listen to some of the voices of the people that they tend to ignore. There are organisations and people up and down the country that need to be listened to - and some that don't need to be. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- East
