party. it's not necessarily one party or another. it is often trying to figure out which direction they're going in. so we think about this in terms of the democratic party, the republican party. obviously there are also other parties, and we'll have somebody who is going to come talk to us from the no labels party which is, again, sort of a group that has both democrats and republicans. as i noted i lived in minnesota during jesse ventura who was part of the reform party at the time. so what we're looking at in terms of being an analyst is the lens of partisanship and political parties and how they contribute to how we see ourselves as citizens and political actors in a democracy. so you all are very active in terms of thinking about politics. you're here experiencing it, but not everybody is obviously as active as you are. at the same time we are all political actors because we do live in a democracy where most of us have a means of influencing and engaging with politics. let's think about

party, conservatives, you had a lot of cross-party coalitions, people working together. that was built on the legacy of the civil war where the liberal party of this conunry had this rump conservative wing and that actually was built on a compromise around segregation. but the fact that it's hard to get compromise in that system, it's rational, because the parties are much further apart. they disagree much more deeply. >> trevor: but is that something that's unique to america because of a two-party system? was it always going to be this way? because as you said, there was a time when there were essentially four parties. now it's gone down to two. and so one thing i've always noticed is if there are two, you always have to choose the one, which seems like a dumb thing to say, but unfortunatelily it locks you into a fixed polarization. you can't move between ideas. is this something that can be fixed in america? or is this just where the two-party system takes the country? >> you could fix it in part. so here's, i think, one of the keys. i don't think polarization itself i

the republican party was up very dramatically different party.the country was generally united after 9/11. when i began to see the changes within the republican party and how it's changing toward ethnic nationalist flavor, probably right around the mid to thousands we were pushing a comprehensive immigration reform bill. we ended up after the reelection president bush stood, forced into thousand five, our initiative was effort to reform social security which went nowhere. we tried immigration reform later in 2006 and almost got immigration reform bill through but it ended up failing. we missed the sequencing. in retrospect, we should have led with immigration rather than social security but for the purposes of your question, you could see this rise of anti-immigrant feelings, some sense of possibility cultural displacement. it was beginning to build in the party. that just didn't exist in the 90s or early 2000's. i was never able to locate exactly what catalyzed that. there was no event like if an undocumented worker had st. paul or something tha

party.e the labour party into the centre ground, the direction it needs to go to be electable. i think for me, the person who shown this week on andrew neil and today was lisa nandy. not many people have no better in the labour party —— outside of the labour party —— outside of the labour party. keir starmer is the frontrunner and he is an experienced parliamentarian, a senior shadow minister and experienced in public life performing that came across strongly. emily thornberry has got great character and great possession when she speaks and jess phillips as jess phillips, everyone knows what you get with her. the person who has lagged behind is rebecca long—bailey who was thought to be the favourite ina way who was thought to be the favourite in a way because she is the most corbynite and continuity candidate but i think it comes out the party don't really want continuity carbon, they want a chance of winning the next election. you will correct me if i'm wrong, but i'm sure you said that if

the republican party -- if the republican party becomes the party of trump, they are done. i do not see him winning the nottion of 2020, but i do see him winning the election of 2016. i do not listen to liberal media, they only tell you what they want. guest: can i ask you a question. caller: yes. guest: you said you do not see trump winning in 2020. who do you see winning? caller: i do not know yet. i think the democratic party will support whoever becomes the nomination. guest: who would you like to see when or be willing to vote -- win or be willing to vote for? caller: my choice would be elizabeth warren. guest: why? caller: she has an educated person and knows about the system, and the structures that need to be changed. we need corporations to change the corporate law to support workers, providing pensions, the ceosre instead of under contract to maximize profits for shareholders. that is a corporate law, they cannot get out of it. their job is no longer to support the workers or grow the company, or encourage investment. their job is to get the maximum profit for the

this is the new republican party, and i think that both establishment parties, democrat and republicans and larger institutions including my profession still have a hard time wrestling with understanding who this coalition is, how it formed, and that donald trump didn't cause it. he's the result of it. >> let's take a deep dive into your reporting and your insight. you write the following quote the concrete notion of a donald trump presidency did not uniformly crystallize until the wee hours of november 9th, 2016. in many ways, there has been no other sunrise in american politics since as the entire nation remains stuck in the moment it served to surprise notice that the country's politics had realigned. >> yes. absolutely. i think that pretty much sums it up. whether you voted for donald trump, didn't vote for him, i think that most people would recognize is that is where we are today. and not much has moved from that moment. i tell people all the time, you know, when they say well, what's changed? what's going to happen? where are we now? do people still like him? i say it's sort of l

germany's greens are marking their 40th anniversary and they have a lot to celebrate the party which began as a collective promoting animal rights and women's empowerment is now more than just a fixture in germany's political landscape according to recent opinion polls the green party is the strongest political force in the country now. the greens were an exotic creation in the conservative germany of 1980 environmentalists and animal rights activists peaceniks and feminists the slogan strident and she knew clear pro peace and pro women. just 3 years later in the greens had a presence in parliament their culture well it's apart from the other parties. fischer the 1st green environment minister in the state of hessen took office wearing trainers as the greens were provoked to force in parliament where they would need to have the established parties but the greens cool the spirit of the age navy 20 years off to their foundation they entered the federal government for the 1st time in coalition with the social democrats fissures foreign minister backed in. involvement of german troops in

jeremy corbyn made our party the party of anti—austerity and he was right to do so, the party to fighte heavily on public services and he was right to do so. we must retain that. we build on that and we don‘t trash it. as we go forward. we should treat the 2070 manifesto as oui’ should treat the 2070 manifesto as our foundational document if you like, the radicalism and the hope that inspired across the country was real —— 2017. anyone who knocked on a door knows that was real. so we have got to hang onto that as we go forward , have got to hang onto that as we go forward, but the test for us is not what was in the 2017 or the 2019 ma nifesto, what was in the 2017 or the 2019 manifesto, it is the next manifesto, and we need to make that relevant for the future. it has to address what is going to happen in the second half of the 2020s and 2030s and it has to give hope to people that the next 20 years can be better with a labour government. radical and relevant. we need to show that we are the party that stands up for the vulnerable and we don‘t discriminate against the vulnerable. appla

the republican party was just a very dramatically different party. the country was different, generally united after 9/11. when i began to see the changes within the republican party, and how it was changing toward a sort of ethnic nationalist flavor, i'd say probably right around the mid-2000s, we were pushing a comprehensive immigration reform bill. we ended up after the re-election of president bush, which was 2004, in 2005 our big effort was to reform security which went nowhere. we tried immigration reform later, in 2006, and almost got that immigration reform bill through, but it ended up failing. we missed the sequencing in retrospect, we should have led with immigration rather than social security. but for the purpose of your question, what was interesting is you began to see or you could see this rise of anti-immigrant feelings, some sense of host hostility, cultural displacement, beginning to build in the party. and that just didn't exist in the'90s or early 2000s.i was never able to locate what catalyzed that. there was no event like if an

state parties are canceling parties because they fear trump. from the beginning, we knew our only path was to do grassroots stuff, and catch some magic and go viral. again, i love buttigieg and bernie in 2016. we have done that to a degree. guys, i haven't had any money, we haven't had any money, so the fact that we are being talked about is amazing. but we need a lot more of that. the difference is bernie was not up against a sitting president with a cult-like following. it is profound. >> on the assumption that you will be the candidate and be elected in november, i would like to ask you your position on some of the issues. on your website and in your talk show, you talked about how you are a fiscal conservative, you are for free trade, for the second amendment, how do you feel about the first amendment and what policies would you put in place for the media industry? mr. walsh: i think --[laughing] -- i actually think the most damaging thing donald trump has done is his attack on first amendment, his attack on speech and on the media. i saw s

i don't think the tea party is a force in the republican party right now. in terms of trump not being a conservative, it is a mixed bag. depends on what area you talking about. as far as judges, regulation, pro-life policies. those fall under the canopy of the republican party. and a lot of ways he is not a conservative. because ia first isolationist instincts are not conservative. has beennservatism understood in the modern era. he is a fierce protectionist. alive, as i have been conservativism has stowed for free trade. trump cannot be understood as a conservative. he can be understood as a populist. i don't think he is anything but a narcissist. he tapped into this populist movement. will it strengthen or weaken the republican party? i do not know. i don't know how it will play out. i'm worried about the republican party. i thought he would redefine it in his own image and he has. ofave had plenty conversations with republicans in congress who know better. their fuse on trump are similar to mine. but they don't think they can speak publicly about that. i

from one party teeth to flash from cars like being a blue top this is where they are. local to the 77 percent. this weekend on g.w. . months of saber rattling culminated over the past week in the us 1st targeted killing of a high ranking foreign military official since world war 2 and in an unprecedented direct attack by iran on u.s. bases in iraq are the 2 sides now ready to back down or could iran's thirst for retail e ation following the american drone attack on revolutionary guard leader customs to the money sparked further escalation the collateral damage following someone is killing.

a lot of people tend to want to issue parties, parties are a thing that are important. i will give an example. a year ago, we had a state senator in iowa who decided to retire. had a special election. this was in a march last year. this person, this race garnered attention. the democrat in the race, who ended up winning, it was held by a democrat, estimated he had 10 presidential candidates do various things for him, including recording videos, encouraging people to vote. walking door-to-door in the neighborhoods. these are candidates themselves. about 10 of the candidates that were this person. that helps the political parties in the state. that also keep the political parties competitive in the state as well, which apps iowa in the general election. to -- i ami am going going to agree with dennis. i lived in iowa for 26 years from a 1996 through 2018. now i live in nebraska. years,think over the when i was here, i felt the same thing others have said that iowans are serious about their choices. but i see this year something different, particularly the democratic side.

because i, right now as a republican have no problem saying that my party is not a party anymore.t's a cult. before trump, as a republican, before before trump, you were defined by where you stood on the issues. before trump, fox news loved me. fox news would have me on all the time, why, because joe walsh is an outspoken conservative. we love that kind of [beep] on tv. along comes trump and it is, i don't care where you are on the issues, i love trump. the party has become a cult to one man. no matter where any of us are politically, everybody in this country should demand and want us to have two really engaged political parties. joe: so the irony in this primary phase is you are not an insurgent because you have been blocked on the inside. you are moving from the outside in. mr. walsh: that is interesting. joe: i concur. you are generating conversations within the party and a fair amount of positivity, but the traction you are getting is from middle-of-the-road or progressive media outlets. we will do a general survey to see how you are tracking conversationally with the mainstr

this is the new republican party and i think puthat both establishment parties democratic and republican and larger institutions including my profession, still have a hard time wrestling with understanding who this coalition is, how it formed and that donald trump didn't cause it, he is the result of it. >> let's take a deep dive into your reporting and insight can you write the following. >> the concrete notion of donald trump presidency did not formally crystallize until the wee hours of november 9, 2016. in many ways there has been no other sunrise in american politics since the entire nation remains stuck in the moment to surprise notice the country's politics had realigned. >> yes.absolutely. i think that pretty much sums it up whether you voted for donald trump, didn't work for him, i think most people would recognize that's where we are today. not much has moved from that moment. i tell people all the time when they say, what's changed what's gonna happen, where we now, do people still like him? i say, it's sort of like groundhog day. nothing much has changed since november 9, 201

these are party events. the gop in order to help them maintain first and the nation status didn't want to do that, didn't want to see the process as being rigged for the incumbent, so there will be gop caucuses. also, for the democrats and the gop, at a caucus it is more than saying here are the candidates i like, it's also about elevating platform planks, governance within the party, electing people to central committees and those types of things. these are important factors, that the national media never really reports on. these are important in the party building aspect of what caucuses are, and the democratic nature of them as well. nted to share with our audience, you have spent time since august going from event to event watching the candidates at work, so what is your sense of who is ahead and who is behind? >> i have been here since the state fair, and have been tweeting as i go, mainly to keep notes for myself. i've probably been to 85 or 90 candidate events at this point. no more certain about the

. >> we don't have that, the democrat party is not a left party, the democratic party is a center orve party. >> alexandria ocasio cortez calling out her own party, the new direction she wants democrats to take. ♪ >> on something as important and serious as impeachment, mitch mcconnell's resolution is a national disgrace. >> it is not responsible and senators to improve or expand the case but our responsibility as jurors is to hear the case, not add to it. >> reporter: mitch mcconnell rolling out his plan for a historic impeachment trial, the resolution will allow witnesses but keep lawmakers from getting stuck in a prolonged trial. how would it work? jenna ellis breaks down the process moving forward. thank you for joining us. we know you're very busy. >> always a pleasure to join you. >> democrats quick to respond to all this and let's bring up some of their responses and i will get you to weigh in. the goal of whitewashing the president's corruption is what this is about. mcconnell and trump want to ignore sort of intent chris coons is more like a cover-up that a fair trial. what

these are party events. the gop, in order to help them maintain first in the nation status, didn't want to do that, didn't want to see the process as being rigged for the incumbent, so there will be gop caucuses. also note, for both the democrats and the gop, at a caucus it is more than saying here are the candidates i like, it's also about elevating platform planks, governance within the party, electing people to central committees and those kinds of things. these are important factors, that the national media never really reports on. but these are important in the party building aspect of what caucuses are, and the democratic nature of them as well. >> i wanted to share with our audience, you have been spending time since august doing field research, going from event to event watching the candidates at work, so what is your sense of who is ahead and who is behind? >> i have been here since the state fair, and have been tweeting as i go, mainly to keep notes for myself. it is an effective way to do that. so

doesn't matter party, the russia is our ally party, and the i'm right and you are wrong human scum partyyes, it's president trump's party now but it stands only for what he's just tweeted arb a party without a governing theory, a higher purpose or a clear moral direction is nothing more than a car tell, a syndicate that exists only to advance itself. steven adds the party no longer has a quote organized coherent purpose. and ends by saying president trump, quote, looked at the party, saw it's fault lines and saw itself of accumulated white grievance and anger. he joins me now and currently advising a super pac advising william wells presidential campaign. your indictment of trump, your indictment of the republican party under donald trump, is it your contention that donald trump emerged and moved the republican party into a new and dark place, or did trump merely reveal and expose something that had been there for a while? >> i'm afraid that donald trump exposed parts of the party that a lot of us ignored for too long. there's always been a tension within the conservative party since pos

will all fit into one party one swedish parties diversity of opinion and this is why the has been like for a country like finland which is only 5000000 people and basically in my opinion of . a new unity government. we're of the parties could always be part of the government would be much better solution than this majority forming the government because they really don't differ in opinion as much as you know they could they could handle the even if they look different policy opinions of the certainly have fights because they've been the last prime minister fell because of a very fractious industrial dispute which turned into an argument between the social democrats in the center bar that that's you know that's a bit harder in finnish politics you your not a lot would lie knowingly so if a politician if a finnish politician. tells a lie and he's caught he or she is caught then that's the end of the game for this specifically telling a lie to parliament or is it just word generally this is what is different with the finnish politics because the integrity of the politicians is really impo

inclusive party, we have a party that we love. we have a party like they have never had before. the republican party is respected again. [cheering] and i have to say this, america is winning again, and america is thriving again like never before. so since the election we have created 7 million new jobs. the average unemployment rate under my administration is lower than any previous administration, listen to this one, and united states history. [cheering] that's a good fact. the lowest in history.

[cheering] women's unemployment is at a 65 year low, sorry about that, soon it's going to be historic. another couple of good months it will be historic. sixty-five years for women. in the eight years b

this is the new republican party. establishmentoth parties, democrat and republican, into larger institutions, including my profession, still have a hard time wrestling with understanding who this coalition is, how it is formed, and that donald trump did not cause it, he is the result of it. host: let's take a deep dive into your reporting. you write the following -- the concrete notion of a donald trump presidency did not uniformly crystallize until the wee hours of november 9, 2016. in many ways, there has been no other sunrise in american politics since as the american public remains stuck in the moment that they served surprise notice that -- guest: that sums it up. if you voted for donald trump, didn't about for him, most people recognize that that is where we are today. not much has moved from that moment. i tell people all the time -- when they say what has changed? what is going to happen? do people still like him? i say it is sort of like groundhog day. nothing much has changed since november 9, 2016. you wok

what is the role of the party in selecting a nominee? who is in the party? anybody here in a party? you don't have to tell me which one. bet lot of you might think of yourselves as being in a party, right, but what does that mean? do you go to a lot of meetings? maybe, maybe not. do you vote for somebody who is connected to that party? that may be the way you think about yourself as being in the party, but all of that means, again, we don't have a very tight connection directly to an operating party, which is different than most of our parliamentary colleagues in other democracies where the parties to some degree have oftentimes more sort of direct connection with legislative outcomes. so azari's point is one i want you to think about with regard to these tensions that we sort of are seeing inside the parties, that we have strong partisanship, that partisanship is not all in one way, that partisans don't all think the same thing and that parties themselves are trying to grapple with that and also trying to effectively do what? what do parties want in terms of elections? to win. they

has happened several times that there are many different parties and especially these are small parties who get just a fraction of the wards they sometimes even become kingmakers when the big parties they don't want to work with each other so they they just go and collect the small parties together and form a government like like right now but they finish politics is somehow you you could even say boring a lot doesn't happen in the polling i love the strays a lot doesn't. but a lot has happened were for because i think it must be one of the most reported events and to lashley to have this this new cabinet led by young woman but this is a huge story internationally yes it is that there is like i think finland has never got more attention to its new government than now and mainly because these are women and these are young women most of them then again you know finland is a consensus society there was a research that. researchers examine the variety of opinion within the finnish parties and they came out with the result that if you look at the diversity of opinion in of the finished parti

firstly, we became the party of anti—austerity, the party of against cuts to public services.we shouldn't chuck that way. we became the party wanted to invest in public services and manufacturing, but we are right about that, so i'm very concerned that we don't throw all that away. there are some a tendency when you lose an election to say that everything we put in the manifesto, everything we put in the manifesto, everything we put in the manifesto, everything we believe the last four years has got to go. wrong in my view. she is talking to exam fees, rebecca long bailey, an activist, about what they think went wrong —— mike rebecca long bailey is talking to people about what they think went wrong. she is quite a way behind, kier starmer has 68 mp supporting him and rebecca long bailey has 26. that is just about nominations, just about getting onto the ballot in the next stage. without the others in terms of numbers? at the moment you need 22 to get through. jess builds on 22, lisa nandi on 24, the two are struggling to make the car emily thorne bury on ten and clive lewis on

to the conservative party? to the conservative party.any of his tweets that he said at that time alleging child rape, he removed some of them, many of them. you removed some of these tweets. no. i heard serious allegations of sexual exploitation and trap houses as well, including one case alleging the rape of a child aged three. now, all of these cases are reported to the police and the safeguarding authorities. you passed that to police? i think there is so much evidence against this organisation now that the police and the safeguarding authorities across london need to act right now to protect potentially hundreds of young people that are at risk today. what does that mean in practical terms? i mean getting into these trap houses and making sure no young people are being abused or exploited. despite all the allegations coming out, this organisation is still standing outside school gates and youth centres, trying to recruit vulnerable young people. can you give us evidence of that? people say spac nation have been outside recruiting mor

a handful of people acting in both parties who met in someone's living room and talked about party businessn the neighborhood. they were the leaders. into theas morphed whole tribe shows up in both parties to participate in the meetings. host: last year you told political you thought the floors were going to buckle in iowa because there was so much interest. now we are days away from it. what is the anticipation for how many people will participate, and how does it compare with history? mr. yepsen: it may be the largest turnout ever on the democratic side. no one knows for sure the state -- chair hase talked about that it could be 300,000. it is a victim of its own success. important,ted, people in iowa have been told so many times how important they are, they have come to believe it, and they are participating. it is a great statewide exercise in civic education. it attracts people into the process. people can show up and later run for office. i met the governor outside a precinct caucus in 1987. it is an entry point for people to get involved. it raises some money. the events do cost a lo

and if she becomes a leader of the labour party i fear it would be fatal for the party.n absolute disaster. and we thornberry isa absolute disaster. and we thornberry is a good bit better but not much. —— emily thornberry. my worries about keir starmer is that he has spent the last four years on the front bench and all credit to him trying to bring the party into a present bull position on brek said but he spent so much of its time trying tojuggle the different but he spent so much of its time trying to juggle the different winds of the party and ijust wonder whether he is bold enough to go out there and strike a new direction for there and strike a new direction for the party which i think is absolutely what has to happen. because the labour party has to start talking to the country and not itself and if all the new labour leader is doing is trained to reconcile warring factions within the party and unity within the party is the most important thing rather than reaching out to the country and offering something different, then i think labour stays in the doldrums. i saw

i think if rebecca long—bailey is the party leader, that is the end for the labour party.er left with jeremy corbyn and lost an election went even further left with the 2019 manifesto and lost disastrously, our worst results in 2000, since 1935. if you go for rebecca long—bailey, it is more left, more left him a more left, five defeats in a row a consequent of that. it would be harsh to beat —— a harsh defeat. you get rebecca long bailey come in no chance of change. i would say labour has rejected them. you mentioned there that they all showed some potential, the ability to be leader. if you have been in that audience today, what question would you have asked that would have allowed you to distinguish the true leader? what went wrong in the last election and what did jeremy do wrong? because i think people do need to be honest with the party. that's one of the themes that lisa has brought up time and again, if the labour party doesn't change, we are going to die. i think you need to say, i think that's right. tell us what it was we did wrong. what do we need to change? why

maybe the personal status both within the party the chinese people was elevated as a result. done shopping had made the decision that it was ok to show that america wasn't a very advanced country. so in fact this was a very clever policy by dung and to show the people this is what you can have if we change our ways. first i thought when people started to express themselves that it was good all i needed to do was be a bystander but later on people said they would he don't jumping is called to stop speaking out and that was when i thought maybe this is the time to step up and maybe i'll lose my head. no i was working primarily at the beijing zoo but we had to cover a range of parks so we were also in charge of tiananmen square. so i saw the big letter dodgy both posters on the democracy was quite early on british journalist school not nigel wade of the telegraph rang me up and said roger i've been given a tip that something interesting. to be seen. on a wall in the center of town i don't mean chinese you do will you come with me and i hadn't yet started to make big character po

during the attack tell party. -- during the cocktail party. there is no cocktail party? i'm sorry. that is another event later in the month. i think it is an interesting process. it gives the news media something to do in times when there is no news because they can send reporters to iowa and report about hay bales and cattle and pancakes being flipped and deep-fried things. i think the caucuses have a great historical place in american politics. at some point, maybe we move on to something else. i think it is an effective way to get out messages. >> i moved here six years ago. this is my second cycle in iowa. i have heard about it before i got here. i studied political campaigns. it is something that is unique. first, it is good for me. it is good for me professionally and my personal interests. i think there are some advantages to a system like this. it does allow candidates with low name recognition to stand out when they would not be able to in a national primary. if we went to the people who were pulling at the top before the caucus process started, joe biden be our candidate,

it is a fascinating journey of the republican party. , theea party movement genesis of the tea party movement was the veil of the banks after the 2008 financial crisis -- the bailout of the banks after the 2008 financial crisis, which i think was almost an unmitigated success. there is a really good documentary called panic -- the untold story of the 2008 financial crisis. vice puts it on. i do not think it is hbo. they interviewed the key protagonists during the 2008 crisis. paulson, geithner or, bernanke, bush, obama, others. it is a fascinating account of what happens. happened, theyt had to bail out the banks. the financial crisis did not become a depression, but that bailout of the banks caused a tremendous anger. why are the banks getting bailed out when we as the individuals do not? that was a fair question to ask. the answer was of the banks went belly up, so with the rest of the economy. there would be huge collateral damage. they ended up paying back the tarp loans. that catalyzed a populist revolt. the tea party was very strongly limited government. populist. antiestablish

and for the uk independence party and for the uk independence party and for the vote leave campaignlear correlation. i've never heard of him but i just correlation. i've never heard of him but ijust don‘t correlation. i've never heard of him but i just don‘t agree with correlation. i've never heard of him but ijust don‘t agree with him! for two simple reasons. one is, that of course the alliance of brexit voters was not just people course the alliance of brexit voters was notjust people in left behind, depressed towns in the north of england that we have been talking a lot about british politics but also retired voters, pensioners, people in the south of england who were the very people who at the time often charge levelled at me that had escaped austerity. they had not been the target of government cuts. second, i would say that you have to look at cause—and—effect and austerity was not a sort of volu nta ry austerity was not a sort of voluntary policy. it was a consequence in britain and basically every other western nation of the financial crash and in the financial crash hit poo

we need to unify the party, andi change. we need to unify the party, and i think i can do that.rselves and not fighting the tories. factions have been in the labour party. they have got to go. i went to leeds university. then i went to leeds university. then i went to leeds university. then i went to oxford university, studying law. i then became a barrister and then became director of public prosecutions was that came into parliament in 2015. i, keir starmer, do declare... only five short years ago, and it seems like somebody has shoved 50 years' worth of change into those five years. you say you area into those five years. you say you are a moral socialist. what does that mean in practice?” are a moral socialist. what does that mean in practice? i see inequality everywhere. you see it in every community. you will see it in these communities here, and i don't just mean wealth and income, i mean influence and help. i have never walked past those sorts of wrongs and injustices. if i were to ask if your politics are closer to the politics of tony blair or the politics of tony blai

i think it is a demonstration that the conservative party can be that one nation party and to have beeny win four elections, increasing vote share in each election is something i am not embarrassed about. i think it‘s a real political success story! you talk about this sort of sunlit world where the tories have achieved triumph after triumph but in the midst of that story you yourself, george osborne, have seen your political career killed off and i wonder how, personally it is to see boris johnson in number 10, with his incredible parliamentary mandate when, just four years ago, you were the coming man, you were the chancellor of the exchequer, side—by—side with david cameron, indeed appreciably younger than borisjohnson and, yet, here you sit now with your political careerfinished, editing a newspaper and he is in number 10. is that gauling? of course i did not want to lose the eu referendum, because of the consequences for the country, but you have to accept at the top of british politics that your career can come to an end and i had 11 years as chancellor and shadow chancellor, a lo

e credibility and tegrity because the labour party is a socialist party.t always has been. people actually vote labour in the expectation that there will be a change in the structureci of power in y. and i'm afraid they'd be disappointed because, over the last 20 years, labour party leadership has been, really, a visionist leadership. it's tried to bury its -- its commitment to socialism, and i think that's a factor, mylf, in the decline in our support. >> does the defeat of corbyn disprove benn's argument? >> yes. i mean, there'ry clear lesson here, because, essentially, jeremy corbyn tk the tony benn political approach and gave it a road t and what it turns out is that, if you have incredible policies, a mistrusted leader, a team that doesn't seem to have the ability to deliver, you're get what we would call stuffed. you're going to lose badly. and labour suffered a historic defeat. big lessons here.are some we're living in a time of enormous economic inequality at undoubtedly drives people to want have big solutions. s but if the butions aren't credible

will all fit into one party one swedish party is diversity of opinion and this is why the has been like for a country like finland which is only 5000000 people and basically in my opinion of . a new unity government. were of the parties could always be part of the government would be much better solution than this already forming the government because they really don't differ in opinion as much as you know they could they could handle even if they look different policy opinions of the simply have fights because they've been the last prime minister fell because of a very fractious industrial dispute with tom then to an argument between the social democrats and the center of power that that's you know that's a bit harder in finnish politics you your not allowed to lie knowingly so if a politician if a finnish politician. tells a lie and he's caught he or she is caught then that's the end of the game for this specifically telling a lie to parliament or just war generally this is what is different with the finnish politics because the integrity of the politicians is really important and th

let's take a look. happened with the labour party.n 1951, it had over a million dues-paying members. laboureekly estimates it has 284,000 today. so there is some, presumably, populist sense of dissatisfaction with it. >> and i thi there is a sense of disappointment among a lot of labour peoplee thaty one thing in opposition and do something else in government. and the real rean, or one of the major reasons, why we're going for party reform now is to try and restore credibility and tegrity to british politics. because the labour party is a socialist party.en it always has people actually vote labour in the expectation that there wille change in the structure of power in society. and i'm afraid ty'd be disappointed because, over the last 20 years, labour party leadership has been, really, a visionist leadership. it's tried to bury its -- its commitment to socialism, and i think that's a factor, mylf, in the decline in our support. >> does the defeat of corbynsp ve benn's argument? >> yes. i mean, there's a very clear lesson here, becaus
