-------------------------------------------------------- Which political issues are you most passionate about? Votes at 16 is something I feel really strongly about; it's not fair that we're only treated like adults when profit is to be made. We can pay tax at 16, yet we don't have the right to choose who should be spending that money. What do you feel is the biggest issue for young people in your constituency? Lack of entertainment is a serious issue. There's not a lot to do around West Berkshire for young people. This often results in people loitering and leads to anti-social behaviour. What do you hope to achieve during your term of office? To represent everyone as best I can, and be able to say that I made a difference to young people, whether it's by working towards compulsory sex-and-relationships education or by helping get a fairer deal with transport prices. What is your future career ambition? I want a job that makes a positive difference to peoples lives, not sitting at a computer to make a rich man richer. I'm planning to do an English degree and then teach English at secondary schools, and then when I've had more life experience, go into politics. Which public figure do you most admire and why? Sir Bobby Robson. It's amazing how he still has such energy and passion in everything he does, and I'd like to be like that no matter how old I am. If there was one message you could send to the government, what would it be? The working class faced a massive struggle to get the vote in the late 19th Century, as did women in the 1920s, and I'm sure that the Government would agree that they deserved the vote as they were not inferior in anyway. The votes for 16 campaign is no different, and would result in a fairer democracy. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- East
