Name: Elizabeth Lean

Position: Deputy MYP

Constituency: Hertfordshire

Which political issues are you most passionate about?

I am most passionate about health and transport.

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

The biggest issue for young people in Hertfordshire would be public transport. Hertfordshire is a big county and young people live in both urban and rural areas. It is very expensive to travel.

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

I hope to achieve free or cheaper public transport for young people and/or free access to gyms and swimming pools.

What is your future career ambition?

I would like to be a hotelier when I am older.

Which public figure do you most admire and why?

I admire Rick Riordan because he writes books about Greek gods and heroes. The main hero in his books has dyslexia ADHD like all of the other heroes. Traditionally that doesn’t really happen.

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

Young people are the future and should not be treated like they are bad.
