02 / belief

I wouldn’t rule out Russia turning from abeying a Western democracy to being something quite hopeful. I think that’s definitely a positive thing that’s potentially going on there.

I believe there are good signs in the last few weeks and months of the system doing that ‑‑ the appointment of Mueller, the courts blocking the Muslim ban, again, repeatedly.

06 / belief

” I think that in the United States, and to a large extent, Britain, we have commodified public life, and we have commodified to a degree that you just don’t see in places like Germany, and I think we have things to learn from parts of continental Europe, including how they treat their middle classes.

07 / belief

I think the retreat of Western liberalism isn’t just that we are having our problems at home and having to relearn some of the lessons of what liberal democracy actually means. But I think our models because are not performing well for the broad‑based electorates, that vote in our governments every few years.

08 / belief

I think the German answer ‑‑ and here’s where I would criticize the German sado‑managerist approach has actually been very damaging to Europe, particularly to the Club Med group of European countries, so I’m not sure I agree with Neil Ferguson.

09 / belief

You have many parties under two umbrellas, and you’re a continent, so it’s very hard to analogize the US with Europe. One thing I would say, is your system is not designed to be parliamentary.

I think America’s absence is really important, so I’m not particularly optimistic on that score, because I think America’s going to continue to be absent on these questions.

12 / belief

I think in September, hopefully Merkel or Martin Schulz will be elected in the German elections, but the AFD is going to breach the five percent limit below which you can not achieve representation under the German system.

14 / belief

I think that the Cold War kept America honest, as it were, and enabled this bipartisan support for America’s, as I say, unnatural global role of being the Hercules that sustains the liberal international order.

15 / belief

I think there is a cynicism about politics, which incidentally, manifested itself in France last Sunday, round two, the Macron En Marche landslide, was 40 percent turnout, which is a historic low for France.

The fact that it’s got, I think, 18 official languages, although they do add to that, the fact that it has got every religion under the sun, the fact that, as E.

17 / belief

I think that the further away we get from 2008 ‑‑ which is very much associated with the new left, the Third Way left, of Blair, Gordon Brown, and others ‑‑ the further away we get from that, the more we’e going to see populists left wing movements marshaling everywhere.

18 / prediction

I think in 2002, if somebody had told you that gay marriage would be legal, that marijuana, recreationally, would be legal in x number of states, and that you’d have a black president asking something I didn’t agree with, for transgender bathroom rights in an election year, that you would have probably scoffed at any such change being possible.

19 / prediction

If Jekyll‑Modi succeeds, it will be a positive liberal event, because more people will be lifted out of poverty, fewer people will be illiterate, and women, as you say, will be prime beneficiaries of this.

Because I think his movies were a lot more formulaic, his later movies. It was a formula that worked, but his genius sort of faded much earlier than…I am struggling here, because he was a brilliant movie maker.

21 / recommendation

I think people should be given a chance to think, to cool off and think about what’s at stake here, because all the evidence shows that there was a really poor debate leading up to last summer’s Brexit.

23 / evaluation

I don’t think the answer is either, what you might be implying, because you could go one of two ways ‑‑ the plebiscitary Robespierre kind of democracy on the one hand, or Singapore, basically non‑democracy and a rule of experts on the other.

24 / evaluation

That was part of the appeal. It’s a wide, but thin, coalition that has been assembled by a very skillful young man ‑‑ and I now really do feel old, because he’s at least a decade younger than me ‑‑ by promising all things to all people.

26 / prediction

The outcome of the immigration, sort of, aspect of Brexit, I think is one of those things that’s going to be very hard to predict, because Theresa May, or whoever replaces her, British politics is Italianizing.
