The Phantom Poll Booth: 2017 Survival Guide - Part I

Synopsis

In case you missed it, the world’s political system is broken. From the USA to Australia, via Canada, Britain, France, Germany and Austria (to name just a few), political figures are bringing new colours to the political spectrum. Election battles are no longer being fought on traditional lines of left or right. Would-be leaders are no longer defined by their devotion to improving workers’ rights or to extending competitive markets. In short, mainstream political parties no longer represent what a substantial proportion of ‘we the people’ appear to care about.
