We are a generation navigating uncharted waters. They say it’s the best time to be alive, but for many, it doesn’t feel that way. Crippling taxes, a cost-of-living crisis, and rising divorce rates leave little room for stability, let alone fun. So what does living well and being successful actually look like in today’s world? And how do we move from just surviving to thriving? Join broadcaster and author Lewis Oakley as he speaks with experts, innovators, and everyday people to uncover fresh perspectives, smarter life hacks, and practical ways to live well—despite the odds.

    The Next Political Revolution Is Digital

    For decades, democracy meant voting every few years and hoping for the best. But what if that model no longer works? In this episode of Generation Uncharted, I speak with Charlie Jobson from House of the People about whether representative democracy is outdated in a digital age. We explore: • Why trust in institutions is collapsing• Whether citizens should vote on laws directly• The rise of digital democracy• The generational divide in political power• Are politicians becoming obsolete?• Can technology remove political intermediaries? Is this democratic renewal… or the start of something far more radical? Subscribe for conversations about modern power, agency and navigating systems that no longer feel built for us. About House of the People House of the People is the UK's first platform letting verified citizens vote on real parliamentary bills and see how their MP actually voted. It measures the gap between what the public wants and what Parliament does. Free, politically neutral, and built on the principle that democracy shouldn't only happen once every five years.
