Which political issues are you
most passionate about?
This is difficult for me to name only a few, as I am passionate about almost every political issue. But for me, this has to be the image of young people in the media. I firmly believe we are getting an unfair reputation as hooded knife carriers, who are prepared to use violence at every opportunity. This is not true. There are so many wonderful things young people do, which deserves far more recognition and praise.
What do you feel is the biggest
issue for young people in your constituency?
In Southampton, there is a major issue with young people having nothing to do and no way of getting themselves to do things. We need more opportunities and better, cheaper and more efficient public transport, to allow us travel to these new prospects.
What do you hope to achieve during
your term of office?
I would like to achieve cheap, if not free, bus fares and other public transport costs for young people in Southampton. I am also aiming to gain much needed media respect and community support for youths, who are facing an adult world which seems to be against them.
What is your future career ambition?
I would love for a career in politics, television, journalism and controversy! My dream would probably be to become a major political figure, in either the UK or Europe, but I have many other interests I would certainly like to pursue as part of this.
Which public figure do you most
admire and why?
I do not admire any public figure as an idol; in the sense that I would like to be myself and create my own persona. However, one person I am inspired by has to be Eddie Izzard. As well as making me laugh lots and lots, he is a hard worker, with a fascinating life story and has come from nothing, with an ordinary lifestyle, to a big success. This proves to me it is possible to move from working class, with little opportunities, to become successful and fulfil ambition.
If there was one message you could
send to the government, what would it be?
Please give up your powers and hand them over to me. I shall ‘promise’, as you would to me, to give you sufficient enough money to live the bare minimum quality of life and just about survive. Thank you :)
