We are now in a new political era in the West.
At home, managerial and judicial forms of government, the steady attrition of the British state, high levels of immigration, and falling living standards, have led to widespread voter disaffection and a renewed and disruptive intensity of anti-elite, democratic politics.
There can be no durable national security, nor economic growth that rebuilds the national economy, without also reducing social disaffection, restoring popular trust in our democratic institutions, and winning much broader popular consent for a Labour government.
The Future of the Left was set up in August 2024 at Policy Exchange to help develop a politics capable of recognising and fully responding to the economic, social, cultural, and technological challenges of the new political era.
