Becoming a candidate
We meet 18-year-old Emily Benn, who is a prospective parliamentary candidate for the Labour Party. If elected she would be the youngest MP ever. We hear about why she wanted to stand for election, what she feels about politics and hear her giving a speech at a local Labour Party meeting.
Emily was an unsuccessful candidate at the 2010 general election.
