About
For some of us, the act of voting may feel like an empty gesture and public institutions may seem distant. What happens when trust in the system drains away? And what is at risk when democracy stops delivering what people want of it?
Writer and political commentator Ash Sarkar and journalist John Kampfner discuss democracy as it is lived today- from protest and political media to elections, accountability and trust. They ask not how democracy can be defended, but how it can be reshaped to reflect the people it serves. This urgent conversation explores what has been lost, what has been distorted, and where there is still room for renewal and meaningful change.
