'Compelling ... Goodwin's central argument is potent ... a new political center is emerging in British politics, though its full recognition by both parties is still unfolding.' - The Times
What lies behind the recent and profound shifts in British politics, encompassing Brexit and a wave of populist uprisings against the establishment? Why did so many individuals seek to overturn the established order? Where has the Left faltered, and what underlying trends are propelling these transformations?
The fabric of British politics is unraveling. A nation once synonymous with stability has been rocked by a series of startling disruptions. Matthew Goodwin, esteemed political scientist and co-author of National Populism, contends that these changes are not merely the result of economic struggles, individual personalities, or clandestine financial influences. Rather, they stem from a broader political reconfiguration that will shape the political landscape for years to come. A ruling class increasingly characterized by liberalization and globalization has lost touch with millions, neglecting their values, dismissing their voices, and denying their moral standing. Now, this newfound coalition of voters is poised to determine the destiny of Britain.
A Sunday Times bestseller, April 2023.
