Ian Dunt Speaking Topics:
- тАШF*** businessтАЩ: What happened to businessтАЩ relation with politics and how can it be repaired?
The business lobby was once courted by both main parties, but now they find themselves despised by Labour and dismissed by the Conservatives. What led to the breakdown and how can it be fixed?
How Westminster worksтАжand Why it DoesnтАЩt: Our political and financial system is cloaked in secrecy, archaic terminology, ancient custom, impenetrable technical jargon and deliberate obfuscation. The reality is that despite all the coverage, hardly anyone understands how Westminster actually works.
Where do we go next: Disturbance in the media and fake news.
Mainstream politicians routinely discredit the media, and fake news is making global events largely unpredictable. How have changes in behaviour and technology influenced this, and where will it go next? - Is there a limit to the global spread of populism?: Populists are defeating established parties and threatening to overturn established institutions. What defines and motivates the populist assault, and which political systems have succeeded in resisting them?
