In Europe and elsewhere, populists are winning. But can they govern? | The National (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The 2020s are the decade of democratic disruption or perhaps even democratic dysfunction. The evidence is clear and may become more obvious next year because so many democracies have significant elections coming up. Traditional parties of government are in trouble. Outsiders are in. New parties on the political left and right are chipping away at traditional parties. The common thread is voters seeking something different from âpolitics as usualâ and the losers are generally centrist or mode
Can billionaires buy their way into British politics? | The National (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Itâs difficult in democracies to make sense of how political parties are funded. What we do know is that politics is expensive. Fighting elections costs eye-watering sums â tens of millions of pounds in Britain, billions of dollars in the US.

Last weekend was gloriously sunny in the south of England, and my family attended a friendâs birthday party on the outskirts of Dover.

Any town centre will see shoe shops filled with frustrated parents trying to ensure their fashion-conscious teenagers choose âsensibleâ shoes rather than fashionable ones that fall apart by Christmas. There is also the (supposedly) grown-up equivalent of back-to-school week at Westminster. The anc
Andy Burnham's success will depend on his ability to drown out the surround sound | The National (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For British politicians, this has been a long hot summer in more ways than just the weather. Parliament returns to business next week, and the political climate has also changed. Last month, Andy Burnham became the UKâs seventh Prime Minister in 10 years. Itâs a shockingly rapid turnover after a series of political failures. Mr Burnham therefore inherits a widespread unease about the way Britain is governed, yet Nigel Farageâs Reform UK, the political party whose sudden rise contributed to
