The Hidden Power

Why doesn’t government work? Is it the politicians, the civil servants, the political parties? Or is it the system in which they all operate? The Hidden Power goes behind the sporting spectacle of modern politicking to find the real villain. This series of six podcasts, broadcast weekly from October 10th, provides both critique and answers. Good government is entirely possible - but not in its current guise. Hosted by Ed Straw, former chair of Demos - the cross-party think-tank on democracy, and producer Philip Tottenham. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
