Leadership

摘要

History repeatedly shows us that when mainstream centrist parties of the right and left consistently fail to convince and empower the electorate we see a spiralling rise in extremist views and in the popularity of those who espouse them. While election turnout has declined every year since the 1940s, people are visibly losing hope in democratic institutions. In turn we see a societal fragmentation and polarisation around single issues such as immigration, racial identity, Europe, gender and the elite. People feel they have no control over their own lives and they want to take it back.
