Populism and the Future of the Centre Right | Rt Hon David Gauke | TEDxYouth@HABS

In his talk, Rt Hon David Gauke delves into the evolving political landscape of the UK. He discusses how cultural issues now heavily influence voter behavior, supplanting traditional economic concerns. Reflecting on his own tenure as a Conservative Party MP, Gauke examines how Brexit triggered significant political realignment, altering party loyalties and creating new divisions. He underscores the challenges arising from this shift, such as economic disarray, the ascent of populism, and heightened societal polarization. Gauke advocates for a more unified and inclusive governance strategy to address these complexities.
