Democracy Debate:

What Comes Next?

Davy Jones, Lloyd Russell-Moyle, Tony Janio, Laurie Penny, David Runciman with chair Polly Toynbee

Following the Brexit vote and the election of Donald Trump, the rise of the right in Europe and the refugee crisis, Western societies are looking more polarised than ever. Is the system capable of tackling the real economic and environmental threats we face? And - what comes next?

Guardian columnist Polly Toynbee chairs a panel of top thinkers and politicians to debate the future of our political system including Davy Jones, Green Party candidate for Brighton Kemp Town; Tony Janio, Conservative group leader elect of Brighton and Hove council; Lloyd Russell-Moyle, Labour candidate for Brighton Kemp Town; the New Statesman columnist and author Laurie Penny; and David Runciman of the University of Cambridge.

Co-produced with Brighton Festival and supported by The Guardian
