Election Year: But is the party over?
With half the world heading to the polls in 2024, our new issue examines the crisis of Establishment politics. Does the rise of independents and smaller parties sound the death-knell for dominant political forces, or will new formations simply re-create the politics of old?
From the French far-right to revolutionaries in the Philippines, from Jeremy Corbyn to Bolivia's Movement Towards Socialism, we examine the forces re-shaping party politics, and ask what it will take to build a politics that serves the cause of the people.
