Name: Joesph Sullivan

Position: MYP

Constituency:
Staffordshire

--------------------------------------------------------

Which political issues are you most passionate about?

There are four issues which I feel are important to me and the young people who voted for me. The first one is the lack of affordable transport, the negative media of young people, lack of facilities for young people in rural areas and how young people are treated by those in power.

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

The biggest issue for young people in my area I believe is the issue of bullying. This was found in a survey which found that the majority of young people who participated in a survey felt bullying was an issue.

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

I have already started work with my Member of Parliament and a mother of a young person who died of drugs. I hope over my term I can get a hard hitting DVD of his battle to get off drugs into every high school and youth provision in my area. I also would like to carry out research into anti social behaviour with Staffordshire Police who are already supporting this.

What is your future career ambition?

In the future I would like to work in youth work and maybe even go in to politics.

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

That young people should have more influence on government policy, particularly policies effecting young people.
