Which political issues are you most passionate about?

On a more local scale I’m passionate about improving standards within the city, including aesthetics, living standards, education, eco-policies etc. However, in regards the bigger picture, a greener future must be developed and acted upon as soon as possible regardless of national interests. It is truly a global issue. I am also passionate about countries in which human rights are neglected. It is paramount that every person on the planet has the basic civil liberties needed to live and to achieve their true potential.

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

Young people often have a difference in opinion, but in Plymouth public transport has always been a nuisance because of high costs. Again, thinking of greener policies it would benefit both the costumer and the city if bus fares were to be lowered, and therefore encouraging use of public transport.

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

I hope to achieve what is expected of me by the voters, and more. I wish to fulfil my campaign and provide Plymouth with both short and long term benefits.

What is your future career ambition?

I am currently undecided.

Which public figure do you most admire and why?

There is no such figure that I admire, however I have respect for all of those that fight for a cause for the greater good.

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

One message cannot even begin to express my opinions, criticisms and praise for the government. If forced I’d probably have to write something along the lines of... ‘try a bit harder’.
