The Opportunity for a New Politics – with Monica Harding, Mete Coban and Rory Stewart

“You’re not going to beat charisma and humour by being boring”

“The centre needs to harness some of the energy from the extremes”, it needs to bend the extremes “like a bow” to “drive the arrow from the centre”

“We need to be much better at governing”

“Most of our cabinet ministers are selected because they please the party”

The challenge for the centre is

“to define itself against fairy stories”
