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

Which political issues are you most passionate about?

I am very passionate about racism and verbal abuse, if you can count them as political issues! As somebody who frequently experiences verbal abuse I know how horrible it is and if it was possible to stop it, then it would be an amazing breakthrough.

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

Although I personally do not take a bus to or from school, from what I have heard the things that go on in the bus are disgraceful.

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

In my term as a Deputy I hope to follow the MYP and help him in whatever way possible so he can achieve what he wants to achieve during HIS term of office.

What is your future career ambition?

My dream career ambition would be to become a writer of literature because I really enjoy writing stories. I also really enjoy acting and drama so I would love to become an actor. However, realistically I would enjoy a career in teaching or I.T.

Which public figure do you most admire and why?

The public figure I most admire is Barak Obama, the current President of the U.S.A. I admire him because instead of doing the usual things presidential candidates do, he promoted big changes for America, and he won the election. This means he knew just what the people wanted.

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

Focus less on how you look in the eyes of the press and listen to what the people of the United Kingdom want, instead of what you think is best for you.
