Which political issues are you
most passionate about?
In my opinion a major issue that concerns me is the rapid change in the modern young community. In the modern world we need to be taught more life skills. We need to be taught about money management, child care etc.
In addition I feel younger people should be given free bus passes or a major concession. I struggle to comprehend why it hasn’t been introduced all ready. Giving secondary school pupil’s free bus passes would lower co2 emissions, lower road traffic collisions and lower rush hour chaos.
As well as these two policies, my third is the growing danger with safety in areas where young people socialise. We need better lighting on streets, in basketball courts and other routes that are frequently used by the younger community later in the evening.
What do you feel is the biggest
issue for young people in your constituency?
I have spoken to many groups, organisations and schools. I have tried to summarise their views into the 3 issues I am trying to address.
What is your future career ambition?
In the future I am definitely going to be involved in politics I may aim to be the representative for Britain in the United Nations or prime minister.
Which public figure do you most
admire and why?
I admire Nelson Mandela because of his bravery to say and stand up for what he believed in. He was even willing to sacrifice his own freedom.
If there was one message you could
send to the government, what would it be?
Invest in the youth of today because we are tomorrow’s decision makers; give us a voice in issues that concern our future! Or RESIGN!!!! No seriously resign!
