I’m wrapping up a short visit to London this week, where Andrew Percy and I had the chance to interview two political brains.
The first interview is with Lord James Wharton, the former MP who chaired Boris Johnson’s leadership race. We cover a lot of ground, including:
The current state of British politics, focusing on the challenges faced by the Conservative Party and the rise of the Reform Party.
The implications of these dynamics for voter sentiment, party identity, and the strategies needed to navigate the changing political landscape.
The need for the Conservative Party to redefine its approach in response to the evolving political environment.
The challenges faced by traditional parties like Labour and the Conservatives, the potential for electoral reform, and the influence of international figures like Trump on Canadian politics.
The potential return of Boris Johnson.
I apologize in advance, the microphone didn’t work for the interview portion of the podcast, so you may want to turn on closed captioning.
