Very good and spot on. One can only hope that a new sustainable, co-operative, altruistic and life-enhancing narrative will emerge in time to capture people’s imagination before the prevailing ‘disorder afflicting the land’ is terminally destructive. We know it’s being written in different regions of the planet. It now needs an editorial team to bring it all together, a publisher with serious clout, an innovative marketing team (as Peter May has articulated elsewhere) and an effective sales and distribution franchise led by the likes of Jacintha Ardern, KatrÃn Jakobsdóttir, AOC, Caroline Lucas, Michelle Bachelet, Pia Olsen Dyhr, Annalena Baerbock, Tsai Ing-wen (with Greta Thunberg in the wings) – to suggest just a few. And it’s no coincidence they’re all female.

Sorry to break this to you but AOC is not a leader, Caroline Lucas is no more a leader, Greta Thunberg is no leader given her self-admitted mental problems, and Michelle Bachelet is no more a leader. The most interesting person on your list is Tsai Ing-wen , who is presiding over a territory that got rich despite not being an EU member, or a member of any equivalent protectionist trade bloc which spends the most of its money on subsidising land owners. Heck Taiwan doesn’t even have embassies in most of the world. This is the outcome of small government neo-liberalism, and it means that Taiwan today has the riches to care about the environment and reducing its coal dependence.
Tsai Ing-wen has consistently asserted that devolved government is superior to the alternative which in their specific regional case would mean the Peoples Republic of China having more of a say in how Taiwan is run then Taiwan has over itself.
Here in the UK, there are people who think that the voters of the UK as a whole should have more of a say in the drug policies and licensing of vice in low life expectancy Hartlepool, than the people of that Local Authority do.
You have a very strange understanding of leadership
You also have a very odd understanding of where support for localism is to be found in the U.K. political spectrum. It is certainly nowhere near Leave.
I like the idea of TED, it is unfortunately the illusion of free speech made real.
There is no rebuttal, no ‘wtf are you talking about’ , no shouting the fascism down.
Democracy goes with a whimper not a bang
