#078 - Adam Williams - Why Would A British Zoomer Go Into Politics?

Adam Williams is the Leader of the youth wing of the Social Democratic Party, the SDP, in the UK.In this conversation, Adam and I think out loud about what motivated his journey into politics, why decline is all he's ever known and why he wants to change this, his experiences knocking on doors in local elections, the challenges of political branding for the SDP, how the public know very little about the scale of issues facing the country, the future of the SDP's political strategy in the UK and what happens if the party does not achieve electoral success, what Labour's recent shift towards more conservative immigration rhetoric might mean, the electoral implications of Britain's policy to allow immigrants from Commonwealth countries to vote in elections, the potential for the Lib Dems to appeal to middle England, why the lack of depth in politics has led to economically-focused and inhumane policies and Britain's biggest issues, why politicians need to connect heritage and history to current political discourse, the importance of engaging younger generations in political processes and much, much more.Enjoy the show, Classmates, and don't forget to subscribe. You can find Adam’s work here:Adam’s Facebook PageSDP WebsiteX/TwitterYou can follow and subscribe to Thinking Class on:X/TwitterYouTubeSubstackYou can watch the full show on YouTube or you can watch/listen to it on Substack.
