Name: Finlay Whitfield

Position: MYP

Which political issues are you most passionate about?

I am very interested in travel issues. Because in my area there is a campaign call 3 in 1 card which is very successful. It has cheaper bus fares, ID and discount in local shops.

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

Personally I believe drug smoking and alcohol are BIG issues in my area because it’s putting many people’s health at risk.

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

I hope to achieve recognition of what I’ve done and what I can do. To help me later in life.

What is your future career ambition?

When I am older I hope to be a successful politician. I would make a difference as an MP or maybe even Prime Minister.

Which public figure do you most admire and why?

There are many but the one whom I admire the most is Barack Obama because he is the only one who has really changed history and life.

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

Why do you have so many ideas now, why didn’t you have them in the previous four years you were in power?
