Exchange: The New British Politics

VALUES, VOICE AND VIRTUE: THE NEW BRITISH POLITICS WITH MATTHEW GOODWIN
Wednesday 13th September 2023, 7pm to 8.30pm
The Athenaeum, Church Alley, Liverpool L1 3DD
Join us for a discussion with Professor Matthew Goodwin about his bestselling book on the new British politics changing our country.
What has caused the recent seismic changes in British politics, including Brexit and a series of populist revolts against the elite? Why did so many people want to overturn the status quo? Where have the Left gone wrong? And what deeper trends are driving these changes?
British politics is coming apart. A country once known for its stability has recently experienced a series of shocking upheavals. Matthew Goodwin, acclaimed political scientist and co-author of National Populism, explains that the reason is not economic hardship, personalities or dark money. It is a far wider political realignment that will be with us for years to come. An increasingly liberalised, globalised ruling class has lost touch with millions, who found their values ignored, their voices unheard and their virtue denied. Now, this new alliance of voters is set to determine Britain’s fate.
Audience members are welcome to book dinner in the Athenaeum dining room after the event, or to have a drink in the News Room. Further details are given with your ticket purchase.
