The year is 2020, and, apparently, young people have never been less engaged in politics. I'm not sure. Join me, Amar Bhandal, as I chat with some of the leading figures in the political world to find out, what's up with Youth Politics?
Lord Indarjit Singh, Baron Singh of Wimbledon, joins Amar to talk about more ethical issues and how politics should reform to a kinder and more moral system. A cross bench peer in the House of Lords, Lord Singh offers his views on issues like Votes at 16, racial discrimination, and whether or not we should abolish the house of Lords. Discussing topics like the Royal Family, religion, and aliens, Lord Singh offers his views on Politics and young people.
