How do we distribute and check power, so that the democratic rule of law can withstand digital, market and political pressure?
Market power, technology power and state power are merging. Our democracy has to be able to withstand that. Future-proof democracy overarches our three themes: in everything, we ask how power is distributed, and how it is held to account.
“The big question, in the end, is: what about power? Who’s in charge, who is held to account?”
