Which political issues are you most passionate about?

I feel strongly about political education in schools, I think it is important that young people are given the opportunity to learn and become passionate about politics because the issues really do effect everyone!

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

One of our main aims this year is to get a central place, in the middle of town, where young people can go in a relaxed environment.

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

We hope to achieve:

• Concessionary bus fares for all young people under 20 all the time.
• A place for young people to go in the centre of town
• Better health education lessons in schools

What is your future career ambition?

I’m really interested in doing something linked with politics, but I’ll see what happens - it could all change yet! lol

Which public figure do you most admire and why?

I think Princess Diana, she was such a lovely lady who used her position to help lots of people and I think she was a strong person who wasn’t afraid of getting stuck in herself to achieve her goals.

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

Get society more involved, the more opinions you gather the better ideas and solutions to problems you will receive, listen to the people!
