At the IEA's THINK conference Dr Steve Davies argues that we are in the middle of political alignment.
Today it may seem that politics in many countries is in chaos or that we are seeing a kind of generalised revolt of radical populism. Suddenly old alliances are under strain and unexpected new ones are arising.
How can we make sense of all this? Dr Stephen Davies has been arguing for several years that there is an explanation for all of this that helps us to understand what is going on and what is likely to happen in the future – we are in the middle of a political realignment which will reshuffle political structures, parties, voting blocs and redefine left and right.
This realignment will be completed in just a few years and we will move into a new kind of politics, organised around different issues.
