Siobhan Brasier (MYP Cotswolds/Stroud)

Which political issues are you most passionate about?
The political issue I’m most passionate about is the high fees of universities. I believe these are too high and make learning at a further education facility practically impossible at the current economic climate.
What do you feel is the biggest issue for young people in your constituency?
I believe that transport fees in Cotswolds and Stroud are very high and this therefore means that young people cannot travel as far or to the places they desire.
What do you hope to achieve during your term of office?
During my time in office I would hope to achieve rights for young people, for the media image to be changed, I would like to tackle the issue of bullying and unavailable and high priced transport.
What is your future career ambition?
I’m not actually sure what I want to do in my future career so I am taking politics, drama, law, photography and pre teaching to have a wide variety of choices, so I could be the next prime minister or drama teacher.
Which public figure do you most admire and why?
I look up to anyone who aims to make a change from fellow MYPs to Barack Obama but I really look up to my parents because they are always there for me.
If there were one message you could send to the Government, what would it be?
One message I would like to send the government is an awareness that children are the future and we have as much as a right / voice.
Additional comments
I’m looking forward to this upcoming year, everyone seems so lovely and I think that we will make a positive difference.
