Which political issues are you most passionate about?

Oh, that’s hard. Ok, well I’m passionate about general disarmament, NO2ID-a.k.a. the right to privacy , the environment, democracies being TRUE democracies, rights of children, the rights of children in care & children who should be in care, the right to getting the proper education for you, the right to a good emotional health…. As you can see I’m passionate about a lot.

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

The limitations of their environment, and what they are dictating who they will become, doesn’t really make sense, but I know what I mean.

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

I hope to achieve better rights for young people, particularly in the areas mentioned above.

What is your future career ambition?

I hope to work for the World Bank or the UN financial department in the Mid-Far East or in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Which public figure do you most admire and why?

I really admire Marge Piercy and Maya Angelou - both feminist authors - because they are strong women who have come through a lot to become powerful, and very influential, political voices in America.

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

Could you please stop taking tax money to line your own pockets when there is a huge economic downturn happening! Oooo and all this anti-terrorism stuff is very Stalinist, ID cards, universal DNA database, CCTV EVERYWHERE, it being illegal to photograph a terrorist… it’s all stupid!!!!!!

Additional comments:

I’m crazy and hyper, and a political maths geek…Anarco-Syndicalists all the way!
