Alisa Anwar is joined by Professor of Politics at Royal Holloway University (James Sloan) and digital campaigner at the Intergenerational Foundation (Liam Hill) to understand why young people are so underrepresented in British politics.

We research intergenerational fairness and the social contract between the generations and call for a fairer settlement for the young today and generations that follow. Our charity number is 1142230
