About this listen
Liberal democracy is losing ground. How do we get back on track?
Across Britain and beyond, inequality is rising, trust in institutions is collapsing, and political extremes are seizing the initiative. The political centre, once a source of stability, is stuck in short-term fixes and stale orthodoxies — unable to answer the challenges of a changing world.
This is not just a crisis of leadership. It is rooted in flawed assumptions built into the post-war liberal consensus — ideas that once secured peace and prosperity, but now leave democracy exposed to stagnation and decline.
Liberalism That Wins offers a way forward: a framework for democratic renewal that is morally credible, politically unifying, and strong enough to out-compete the extremes. It rejects empty nostalgia and blind technocracy in favour of a vision grounded in reality — one that can restore trust, rebuild legitimacy, and renew the democratic centre.
