Constituency: Hartlepool

Which political issues are you
most passionate about?
As opposed to being passionate about one issue in today’s society, I am passionate about many. I feel that the ‘ASBOs’ are given for pathetic reasons, for example, you can get an ASBO for standing on a street corner. If inadequate facilities are provided for the children then does it not mean that kids will get ASBOs for nothing? Bullying is an issue that is ‘neglected’ and not taken seriously in most councils.
What do you feel is the biggest
issue for young people in your constituency?
I think that the biggest issue in my area is that there are not enough places for young people to go.
What do you hope to achieve during
your term of office?
I hope that in my term of service I can provide more joy to the children of Hartlepool by making more places for them to go (football pitches, youth clubs, skate parks etc), lowering bullying and sorting out a few ‘dodgy’ laws with regards to the ASBOs.
What is your future career ambition?
I plan on becoming a psychiatrist, a virologist or even moving into politics.
Which public figure do you most
admire and why?
I have a lot of respect for Albert Einstein, as he was a perfect example of what we should aspire to. He defined several key things that can and will have an affect in shaping the future world. It would be my dream that, someday, I would be remembered in record books for creating or defining something that’s as fascinating as the things he has done.
If there was one message you could
send to the government, what would it be?
That they need to wake up and realise that we live in an ever evolving world. They think that a child wearing a hoody is more criminal than a man committing murder, or burgling a house.
Additional comments:
I would like to thank everybody that voted me in and promise I will strive to create a better, brighter and more colourful future for all of Hartlepool’s children.
