Western politics is fragmenting, with old party systems breaking down under the pressure of populism, culture wars, and a revolt against elite, technocratic politics. From America to Europe, the rise of populism is reshaping both the left and the right, drawing in working-class voters and challenging traditional political structures in a way many see as disturbing. In the US, Trump’s continued dominance has transformed the Republican Party, while in Britain, defections from the Conservatives to Reform signal a deeper crisis of legitimacy. Join Conservative politician who has served as Foreign Secretary, Home Secretary, and Education Secretary James Cleverly, and political theorist and founder of Blue Labour, Maurice Glasman, as they discuss the rupture in Western politics and what might come next.
