CHARLOTTE'S PARLY BID AT 18
TEENAGER Charlotte Cameron is Scotland's youngest-ever parliamentary candidate.
On May 3, while most 18-year-olds are swotting for exams or planning a night out, Charlotte will stand as a Scottish Socialist Party candidate.
Last night, Charlotte, a vegan who doesn't own a TV, said: "I'm just a normal teenager. I do normal teenage things. I like music and cinema and going to the pub."
Brought up in Castle Douglas, Kirkcudbrightshire, and now living in Maryhill, Glasgow, Charlotte is a candidate for the south of Scotland. This election will be the first time that 18-year-olds can stand for parliament.
She said: "I want to see young people represented. Older people can talk the talk but they can't really relate to the issues that the younger generation are facing."
