Name: David Callaghan
Status: Deputy MYP
Constituency: Cornwall
--------------------------------------------------------
Which political issues are you
most passionate about?
I am most passionate about children, young people and human rights as I do a lot of work to represent children and young people's rights.
What do you feel is the biggest
issue for young people in your constituency?
I feel that the biggest issue is transport, as in Cornwall we are quite rural and transport costs are high, services are unreliable and most equipment is falling to pieces.
What do you hope to achieve during
your term of office?
I hope to reduce transport costs for both young people and adults and to also increase the age of a child ticket from 16 to 18.
What is your future career ambition?
In the future everyone tells me I should become the PM which I might peruse, however failing this being either the Attorney General or UK rep on a UN Committee would be fab!
Which public figure do you most
admire and why?
My local MP! My local MP is Julie Goldsworthy, one of the youngest Members of Parliament and also a woman in a male dominated area.
If there was one message you could
send to the government, what would it be?
Listen to young people more!!!! We may be the little people, but in the end we have great ideas about many issues. At the end of the day, the time will come when it is this generation’s job to run the country!! SO listen NOW!!!
