Your interests harmed?

Chris Lucas' reply (13/4)

David Cameron's reply (1/5)

Done for you:

Autumn: 6 months in post, I am now more focussed on college/uni fees and gym vouchers to students. Arranging a petition accordingly, e.g. discussing with Ealing MPs (got a disappointing reply from David Willetts, the Minister of State for Universities and Science) and students. Meeting with Boris Johnson, Mayor of London in mid-Nov. You like the new "Your interests harmed" section?

Spring: Disappointed with David Cameron, Gordon Brown, Nick Clegg and all existing MPs and Ealing MP candidates for their poor responses to my £50m spending proposal (opposite).

Ongoing: I gave a presentation to a Chinese community (CIAC) in August, interviews to Ealing Gazette in March 2010, and to BBC London and BBC Chinese in April 2010 to spread our messages of youth priorities. I attended regional MYP meetings to lobby for support for delivering my manifesto.

Youth Parliament

Let us youths determine our future now, fight together for

School curriculum (gym subsidy)

Student debt (tuition fees/tax holiday)

Devon's speech at Parliament (video)

I am fighting for government spending £50m in 2010-11 on our (youths') priorities:

Making the school curriculum more fun and relevant to youths' future, e.g. providing subsidised international student exchange programmes and gym membership during half terms.
Reducing university/college tuition fees and/or offering tax holidays for fresh graduates (i.e. no tax for the first year so that they can use the saved tax to repay student loans and buy first home).
Get youths more ready for jobs and get them jobs, e.g. through better school curriculum and gaining work experience by doing charity work.

My message to MPs & the Government: BE HONEST! ANSWER OUR QUESTIONS DIRECTLY!
