politics was being conducted - we have to, and must, change that".

to send his child to a grammar school, whereas his wife wanted "the best
education for her son". Being against privilege, Jeremy refused to
compromise on his principles and ended his marriage over it.

"Political candidates in the UK, US and Europe that would have seemed

by harnessing enormous grassroots support. Has politics changed forever?"

"Do you believe that there’s a new global grassroots political movement?
And could it effect real change? Is the world now ready for a new style
of leadership that seems to represent truly democratic, bottom-up politics?"

"In the digital age, people aren’t ruled by what’s delivered to them by
mainstream media..."
