Position: MYP

Constituency: South West

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

Which political issues are you most passionate about?

I am very passionate about the subject of money and employment within the UK, the fact that us as young people do not have enough money to do things due to things being too expensive and the tediousness of finding a job within your local area.

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

Places for young people to go. Even in my own town there are people smoking, drinking and doing drugs, with something to do they are more likely to stop getting themselves in trouble and instead having fun. 

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

I want to be able to get ID cards for everyone within Somerset. This is an easy way of being charged the right price for things and to get a decent job with a good wage.

What is your future career ambition?

I want to join to the armed police response unit, especially when I’m still young, but as I get older I would more than likely go into politics, because it is fascinating.

Which public figure do you most admire and why?

Gerard Way, Matt Tuck, Jared Leto, Corey Taylor, because they are amazing screamers and I want to be able to scream like they do!

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

You have a lot of money, we do not … we’re not beggars! We just ask for a fair head start in life, it’s not too much to ask, we understand you need money, but who's going to be taking over the Government when you get older? It’s going to be us, the next generation, so be nice to us =D
