Mhairi Black is a seemingly ordinary 20-year-old student who openly professes a love for alcohol, music and football (soccer). If you were to walk through any town in the United Kingdom, it’s safe to say that nearly every person her age would fit the same description.

But while Black shares many similarities with her peers, she stands apart in one exceptional way: She just became the youngest Member of Parliament in over 300 years, and she hasn’t even finished university.

There have been no British lawmakers younger than Black since 1667, when 13-year-old Christopher Monckton joined Parliament.

Black, who studies Politics and Public Policy at the University of Glasgow, just won the Paisley and Renfrewshire South seat in the United Kingdom general election. Her constituency is located southwest of Glasgow, Scotland’s largest city.

In winning the seat, Black ousted a prominent and experienced Labour Party politician and shadow foreign secretary, Douglas Alexander.
