Name: Sophie Cotton
Status: MYP
Constituency: Hounslow
--------------------------------------------------------
Which political issues are you
most passionate about?
I am passionate about anything that affects young people. I think young people should have a voice in every area that involves and affects them. Young people are not aware of the opportunities they have like UKYP or their local youth councils or forums. The government should give young people what they want, not what they think young people want!
What do you feel is the biggest
issue for young people in your constituency?
In Hounslow I feel that there is a lack of information for young people. There is not enough information on things that affect young people and what they really need to know. Also teenage pregnancy is very common in my borough and I don’t think enough is happening about it.
What do you hope to achieve during
your term of office?
Let young people know what opportunities there are out there and to take advantage of that. Also to make sure young people have input into thing that affect them.
What is your future career ambition?
At the moment I’m not entirely sure what I want to do. But I would like to go on and do A-levels and then go to university.
Which public figure do you most
admire and why?
There’s not a specific public figure I admire but every person who has the determination to make a difference for the better are the people who I truly admire.
If there was one message you could
send to the government, what would it be?
Smarten up!! Listen to the people your decisions actually affect!
Additional comments:
I will try my best to make my borough a better place for young people.
