UK politics is experiencing a realignment - with the old divides of left and right gradually giving way to new fault lines, based on social values, attitudes to immigration and a sense of national identity.
That’s the view of Dr Steve Davies, who believes that the political parties of Britain are, increasingly, at odds with the electorate and their own core voters. This situation, he argues, has been exposed and exacerbated by the results of the EU referendum in 2016. A realignment in British politics is now inevitable.
Today, the IEA's News Editor sat down with Steve to discuss his theory, what it means for UK politics, and how the two major parties will navigate these momentous changes over the next few years.
