Constituency:
Birmingham

Which political issues are you most passionate about?

I’m passionate about climate change. Young people should be involved in plans to change the impact of global warming because let’s face it we are the ones who will be growing up with the consequences and something BIG need to be done FAST to save our world!

Another issue I am very concerned about is the fact that the standard of your education can be affected by the area you live in. It’s really not fair that if your parents/carers can’t afford to live in a place with “good” schools then the standard of your education might not be great!

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

I think the big issue is there is nothing to do for young people and whenever something is set up it’s trashed. This creates more crime and then all young people are stereotyped. Also the schools aren’t the best!

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

I really want to change young people’s lives in my area for the better and tackle some of the issues that concern them.

What is your future career ambition?

I don’t know I’m still thinking about it, maybe education, politics or medicine.

Which public figure do you most admire and why?

Condoleezza Rice because she doesn’t care about the American stereotypes but  proved she’s a strong willed and powerful woman and nothing ever phrases her and she still has time for her children and family. Amazing!

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

Listen to young people because we are part of today not just the future!
