Name: David Smith
Position: MYP
Constituency: Derbyshire
--------------------------------------------------------
Which political issues are you
most passionate about?
I think the biggest issue in politics is poverty. Nobody should be in the state where they can't afford the basic day-to-day materials.
What do you feel is the biggest
issue for young people in your constituency?
The biggest issue in my area falls between 2. It is both the lack of activities that engage youths to come together as a community and how youths are represented in the media.
What do you hope to achieve during
your term of office?
I want to show people that one person can make a difference. I want to bring the community together. I want to help each and every youth get their voices heard.
What is your future career ambition?
The one thing I've always wanted to do is help youths. This is why I'm going on to do a degree in community and youth studies and become a youth worker.
Which public figure do you most
admire and why?
Sir Alan Sugar. This man has brought a company from the back of a van to a massive empire worth over 800 million pounds. This shows what one person can achieve when there is determination.
If there was one message you could
send to the government, what would it be?
This is simple: When it comes to election time don't spend your time saying how bad the opposition is. Say what you have to offer and what you can achieve. Make sure you listen to your people.
