Name: Katie Byrne

Position: MYP

Constituency: Lancashire

Which political issues are you most passionate about?

I am most passionate about the cost of transport for young people. If the government want young people to join more youth groups there needs to be cheaper transport for young people to access them.

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

Again I feel it is the issue of transport but also the image of young people.

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

I hope to be able to fairly represent the views of the young people in my constituency on a local, regional and national level and achieve cheaper transport for young people in Chorley.

What is your future career ambition?

I’m not sure yet but I know I definitely want a career to do with performing.

Which public figure do you most admire and why?

I probably most admire Martin Luther King as he showed the ability to fight for what is right and didn’t let anything stand in his way.

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

Listen to young people, they are the future and you may be surprised by what you hear.

Additional comments:

Life is too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you right and forget about the ones who don't. Believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands. If it changes your life, let it.
