In one of the most striking conversations of the series, Alastair Greener sits down with
Keenan Noori, the articulate and passionate 15-year-old founder of the Nexus Party, who’s
on a mission to reform UK politics. Frustrated by ideological tribalism and rigid party lines,
Keenan shares his vision for a centrist, evidence-based political approach that unites rather
than divides.
With a level of eloquence and clarity rare in any age group, Keenan challenges the notion
that Gen Z lacks resilience or seriousness. He discusses how growing up in a multicultural
household in Wiltshire shaped his views, why older generations should engage rather than
condescend, and how young people can—and should—be active participants in shaping the
future. His father Amer joins partway through the episode, offering a heartfelt perspective on
raising a son so deeply engaged with public life.
This episode is a powerful reminder that wisdom doesn’t always come with age – and that
the next generation is more ready than we may think.
