Austin Sheridan who is a member of the Scottish Youth Parliament for Glasgow Govan made an appearance on Sunny Govan Radio. Sunny Govan Radio covers a large area in and around Govan and is also listened to by people from all over the world via the internet. Austin was asked questions through the text system and twitter, one of the questions were, What would you do if you were Prime Minister of the UK. Austin replied "If I was the Prime Minister I would call a general election as the people of the UK are clearly not happy with MPs in this current expenses scandal. The only way we will make the public feel happy is if the MPs face their constituents in an election and let them decide if they are trust worthy to continue to represent them." Austin was also questioned on what his main manifesto commitment was, Austin said "my main commitment to my constituents was more help for young carers in Govan and in the whole of Scotland. They do such a good and demanding job but people very rarely stop to think about them, They are Scotland's unsung heroes". Austin also spoke about how he supports Scottish independence and how he got involved in the Scottish Youth Parliament. Austin has been member since the 3rd of June and will serve a term of two years.
