The Brexit-backing 16-year-old grammar school girl whose passionate demand for border controls left the politicians on BBC Question Time speechless... but she's too young to vote
Miss Hill, who is set to take her GCSEs this year, stopped the politicians in their tracks with a fierce attack on open European borders.
Miss Hill, from Poole, Dorset, recently finished her mock GCSE exams at Parkstone Grammar School and wants to study Maths, Chemistry, Biology and Economics at A-level.
The impassioned intervention came after Ms Truss, who has backed Prime Minister David Cameron's recommendation Britain should stay in the EU, outlined the case defending the EU deal negotiated last week in Brussels.
Miss Hill responded: 'I'm sorry but I can't accept Liz's argument that they're trying to reduce the pull factors because what is increasing the living wage to £9 in 2020 going to do?
'Eastern Europeans who have a minimum wage which is already one tenth of what ours is, surely that's going to increase net migration?'
She said the new national living wage was 10 times higher than the equivalent in eastern Europe.
And she endorsed the 'Australian style points system' for immigration that has long been promoted by Ukip.
Presenter David Dimbleby intervened to ask what her solution would be and how she would be voting at the referendum on June 23.
Miss Hill replied: 'I would get out of the EU so we could have a fair points-based system so we don't favour people from the EU over people (outside) of the EU.
We can have someone unskilled within Europe coming in without any questions, but a really talented doctor from India has to go through an intensive process. 'It doesn't make sense.'
The young woman's speech was met with an enthusiastic round of applause from audience members, who turned around to discover who had been talking.
