Brexiteer teen, 19, reveals plans to become MP because she’s sick of ‘old men’ in charge but admits racy bikini snaps might hold her back
A BREXITEER teen has revealed plans to become an MP because she’s sick of “old men” in charge of the country.
Emily Hewertson, 19, who won legions of fans after appearing on Question Time, has set her eyes on Westminster – but is worried her racy bikini snaps could hold her back.
Emily, who has been a Conservative party member since she was 16, told the BBC: “We don’t want old men that have no personality running our country anymore.
“We need people that young people can relate to and I think that would really help them to vote and help them to be more interested in politics.”
Emily gained thousands of adoring followers on Instagram and Twitter after speaking on an episode of BBC’s Question Time, where she slammed Tory MPs for their failure to deliver Brexit.

She blasted: “To be honest, I can’t believe we’re still having this debate.
“I’ve been a member of the Conservatives since I was 16, I’m now 19, I’ve canvassed for them. But the party has let us down and I will be voting for the Brexit Party during the European elections.”
But it wasn’t just her political opinions that gained her admirers.
Racy snaps of Emily posing in her bikini on holiday and wearing figure-hugging dresses on nights out have also caught the eye.
But now the teen worries the racy snaps could count against her as she set sights on a career in politics.
Emily, an influencer for turning Point UK, said: “When I went to Ibiza I did post an Instagram photo like everyone else, in my bikini. And I think if I was to become a politician that would be used against me.’

She added: “I do understand that MPs are very much in the public eye, people are interested in their past, but I think generally I am quite careful of things that I do, and how that could impact my future career.
“I just think ‘in future, would I be happy for someone to find out about that? And I think that’s something everyone should take.”
