00:00 The number one thing that comes across so strongly at every age is that children want to be listened
00:08 to by the people in charge and by whoever the next prime minister is. The most negatively
00:13 answered question was the people in power listen to your views and followed by and can you influence
00:20 them. Children have talked to me, their children basically saw during lockdown the power of
00:28 politicians. They saw their schools closed in a day, they saw the vaccine rollout and they know
00:37 politicians are powerful. They're not cynical but what they feel is that they're not being involved,
00:42 they're not being listened to, they're watching massive changes in their lives. They've seen
00:48 Brexit, they've seen the cost of living crisis, they're seeing war in Europe and they want to
00:53 help. They want their views heard and they want to be part of building the future of the country
00:59 and the future that they're going to live in and be adults in.
