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

Which political issues are you most passionate about?

I am very passionate about the way the media portrays young people as ‘YOBS’ which should end soon as it is unfair for young people to be stereotyped like this.

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

There are a few issues, but I believe public transport is the main issue, as it is too expensive and people feel uncomfortable on it.

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

I hope to end negative stereotypes in the media, make public transport cheaper or even free and have more facilities/activities for young people available.

What is your future career ambition?

To be honest… I’m not quite sure at the moment! Maybe a career in politics.

Which public figure do you most admire and why?

Anyone who stands up for what they believe in and works to help others.

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

Young people deserve to be listened to, as we are the future of the UK.
