OK-ish video (not long enough) and interesting in the thesis and data: young people in UK have no-one to vote for – they are only group who are not showing any increase in support for Labour.
Perfect example of the “political (vision) crisis”.
Demonstration of need and opportunity around second renaissance in providing social and political vision
Evidence for 2R thesis in that current political still trapped in a mainstream that is largely modern-dominated narrative that makes shift hard
This is also a difficulty: voters generally want reassurance so it is hard to “tell the truth”
Aside: interest to examine the narratives people hold. e.g. green voter claiming “the systems is working for very few people” (what does that mean?). Or the breakdown the NHS (sadly that clip is cut short so we don’t know what is going on).
There was more of this theme in the UK media last week, when Channel 4 aired a survey of Gen Z which showed that more than half (52%) believe the UK would be a better place if a strong leader could bypass parliament, and 47% feel society needs radical change through revolution.
This is my take on what the results might have implied:
Especially “more than half (52%) believe the UK would be a better place if a strong leader could bypass parliament, and 47% feel society needs radical change through revolution”.
No wonder a leader like Trump gathers support…
I like your framing, Terry, of a need for political leadership which is both decisive and compassionate, and which takes powerful action with humility.
