A Point of View - The New Centre Ground
Download The New Centre Ground
John Gray believes the British state is broken, and that we urgently need a new centre ground in British politics.
'Outside the echo chamber of metropolitan opinion', John writes, 'there is a restive electorate perplexed and discomforted by the country the UK has become'.
He says our politicians seem bent on continuing the status quo, seemingly unable to comprehend a surge in support for populist politics.
But he wonders if the election of Kemi Badenoch could be a first step towards creating something radical in a new centre ground.
