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

Which political issues are you most passionate about?

There are lots of issues I feel passionate about including voting at 16, bullying, racism and improving youth cultures.

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

I feel that a big issue in my location is social border, and I don't feel that youth clubs are the way forward in this area.

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

I hope to not only enhance Sunderland's youth services but to work with others to make the UK's youth provision is better.

What is your future career ambition?

I have taken G.C.S.E options and hope to take A-Levels that will leave me with a wide variety of career options which I can pursue, one of which would hopefully include a role on the political front.

Which public figure do you most admire and why?

The public figure I most admire is Helen Patterson, the newly appointed Director of Children's Services at Sunderland City Council, because I feel that she is a good political figure, intelligent and knows about the issues that young people face.

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

The one message I would send to the government would be, 'We are the generation of tomorrow, listen to us now, or loose us forever.'

Additional comments:

I'm a 'funny' kind of person knows how to have a good laugh, and when to take thing seriously. I hope to make a good contribution to the UK Youth Parliament.
