Commentary: Andy Burnham's Revolution is Also a Recipe Against Right-Wing Populism
The British Prime Minister is prescribing his country a triple shock therapy. Other politicians should take this as an example.
The article discusses the speech of British Prime Minister Andy Burnham at the Labour Party conference in Liverpool, which was praised for being honest, courageous, and forward-thinking. Burnham identified three major problems facing the UK: the crisis of the welfare state in an ageing society, the failed Brexit, and an electoral system that no longer represents the fragmented political landscape.
He proposed a pension reform that will require many citizens to make sacrifices to prevent a national care crisis. Burnham also broke the taboo on re-examining the UK's exit from the EU, stating that it was a mistake that needs to be corrected.
