The New Centre Ground

John Gray believes the British state is broken, and that we urgently need a new centre ground in British politics. 'Outside the echo chamber of metropolitan opinion', John writes, 'there is a restive electorate perplexed and discomforted by the country the UK has become'. He says our politicians seem bent on continuing the status quo, seemingly unable to comprehend a surge in support for populist politics. But he wonders if the election of Kemi Badenoch could be a first step towards creating something radical in a new centre ground.
