Which political issues are you
most passionate about?
I am quite passionate about the issue
of votes at 16, as I feel that young people are mature enough to
vote at this age and deserve the chance to be involved in the election
of the people who ultimately make all the decisions affecting their
lives.
What do you feel is the biggest
issue for young people in your constituency?
One of the biggest issues in my area
is the basic issue of young people's voice, and making sure young
people have someone they can go to, to make sure they are properly
listened to.
What do you hope to achieve during
your term of office?
I hope to set up several different
things, like drop-ins, that young people can attend to put forward
their views directly to influential people.
What is your future career ambition?
As yet I have not completely decided,
but local government is definitely something that interests me,
and I would consider a job of some sort in it.
If there was one message you could
send to the government, what would it be?
I would request that the government
should more actively involve young people in decisions that affect
them, and consult with us more widely before making decisions on
our behalf.
