Radical Solutions EP9 - John Strafford

It's the final episode of Radical Solutions. In true democratic spirit, we let the people vote for their favourite, and if you listen to the episode you'll hear the winning idea! 

This episode will also feature Alex Runswick, as she discusses how our political system is stopping these innovative ideas from being implemented, and the people from being heard. With clarity, great passion and some light-hearted anecdotes, she only needs 18 minutes to convince you that our politics is broken, and that we can fix it, together. 

If you've been inspired by this episode, like, comment, but most of all share it with everyone you know. Discuss the idea with friends and family over the dinner table. If you'd like to be even more active, head to unlockdemocracy.org/new-politics-rules!
