-------------------------------------------------------- Which political issues are you most passionate about? University tuition fees should definitely be scrapped. Everyone should be able to go to university. I’m also interested in political education. True, a lot of politics is boring. But it’s important and it affects all our lives so we need to know about it. What do you feel is the biggest issue for young people in your constituency? The image of young people comes up all the time. Of course there are teenagers who do bad stuff but in the media they’ve got it way out of proportion. What do you hope to achieve during your term of office? I’d like to publicise the good things young people do, in particular making sure all the young people in my area have heard of Youth Parliament, and that adults see that we can be responsible and make decisions. What is your future career ambition? I’d really love to be a screenwriter – it might sound unrealistic, but somebody’s got to do it. Which public figure do you most admire and why? The author Philip Pullman because, as well as his books being works of complete genius, he writes for children as if we were adults. If there was one message you could send to the government, what would it be? Don’t underestimate young people. Listening to us shouldn’t just be because of whatever the Human Rights Act says, I mean we actually have good ideas. Often we think of things adults just wouldn’t. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- East Midlands | East of England | London | North East | North West | Scotland | South East | South West | Wales | West Midlands | Yorkshire & Humberside
