Power to the people | LSE Event

We apologise for a handful of short pauses in the audio recording.
In 2024, two billion people headed to the polls in some fifty countries around the world. But the drama of these elections risks obscuring just how fragile the foundations of democracy have become. A political system that is geared towards short-term wins, run by politicians that few of us trust, is failing to address complex global problems. Many of us feel disempowered, disillusioned and distrustful.
In this event, Danny Sriskandarajah will discuss his new book Power to the People. Drawing on his extensive experience in leading civil society organisations around the globe, he will set out his radical blueprint for change. From giving democracy a participatory makeover to public ownership of social media spaces, and from re-energising co-operatives to creating a people’s chamber at the United Nations, this event will present a range of inspiring ideas for how we can reclaim our power and change the world.

Dr Danny Sriskandarajah
