About this episode

Shaub discusses insights from a report on young people's political views and the need for centre-left politicians to engage authentically with youth.

Co-author of the  recent report ‘Inside the mind of a 16 year old’  for UK think-tank Demos together with Peter Hyman, Shaub details the journey of speaking with 700 young people across the country about their thoughts on politics - and why centre-left politicians need to get their house in order when it comes to talking to young people themselves. Now is not the time for timid grids of the past - it’s well past the moment for something new and different; politicians happy to go where voters are; unafraid of being authentic. It’s not just what young people demand - but what our politics, and democracy, needs. It’s time to slay the sacred cow that the centre-left is talking to young people - it’s not. Hosted on Acast.
