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

Which political issues are you most passionate about?

I think that global warming, is an important issue, as if we don't stop it now, the world will have to deal with the consequences forever. Also I think that public transport is and important issue, as it would help reduce global warming if more people used it.

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

I think that bullying is the biggest issue, as it happens everywhere. How are we supposed to be happy if we are constantly been bullied?

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

I would like to show adults that young people aren't just a generation constantly getting into trouble. We have just as much to offer the world as they do.

What is your future career ambition?

I'd like to be a psychiatrist (or some type of doctor) when I'm older, as I like to help people.

Which public figure do you most admire and why?

I don't really admire any public figure at the moment. But if I did, it would be someone who would be willing to make a contribution to the community, and those worse off.

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

We are not the next generation; we are the current generation, so I think they should listen to young people more.
