A 14-year-old boy from Lincolnshire has become one of UKIP's youngest members.
Billy Brookes, who attends Skegness Grammar School, has called for "real change" in his town and has promised to stand as councillor once he turns 18.
The schoolboy was welcomed to the party by Robin Hunter-Clarke, UKIP's Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for Boston and Skegness.
Billy said: "I am looking forward to getting more involved and fighting for a UKIP victory in May.
"Robin has proved young people can succeed in politics as he is 22, a local councillor and now standing for parliament.
"We need real change in our town and I will definitely be standing for council as soon as I am 18."
Robin Hunter Clarke said a lot of younger people are supporting UKIP.
He said: "As a former Skegness Grammar School student, this is great news for the party locally and for Skegness.
"Younger people are turning to UKIP, as the other parties have betrayed them and let them down on many issues such as tuition fees.
"I am a huge advocate for getting more young people involved in politics and I am very pleased Billy has decided to join the team.
"He is now our youngest member, and could well be one of the youngest members nationally.
"It is clear to me that he has a very bright future ahead of him indeed."
