OTR: Youth, Politics & Trust with Steff Aquarone MP

🎩 A CONVERSATION WITH STEFF AQUARONE, MP

An in-person conversation with a Liberal Democrat MP for North Norfolk, Steff Aquarone; and Steff's Constituency Researcher, Mollie Stephens, where you can ask questions directly and engage in in-depth political discussion.

This session will explore one of the central tensions in modern public life:

Why trust in politics is eroding — and what that means for younger generations trying to engage with it. We’ll look at politics not as an abstract system, but as something lived and navigated in real time: should you have any questions regarding participation, disillusionment, representation, and the realities of entering public life today, you are more than welcome to ask them.

• Questions are encouraged
• Honest answers are expected
• Respect is non-negotiable
• You don’t need to be an expert to attend.

Curiosity and willingness to think matter far more than prior knowledge.
You’re not expected to speak if you don’t want to — listening is a valid way to participate.

You don’t need to agree — you do need to be open to a variety of opinions.

Mollie Stephens

Constituency Researcher to Steff Aquarone MP
Mollie Stephens first became involved in politics as a volunteer during the 2024 general election while still in sixth form, and is now standing for election herself in this year’s local elections. Her perspective on youth engagement is shaped by direct, recent experience of entering politics, and a belief that more young people should feel able to understand, engage with, and influence the decisions that affect their lives.
