Why Rory Stewart’s ‘Politics on the edge’ is a great book and shows why we need to make better choices around who we allow to run our beloved country. We need to take a bigger interest in politics and we need to put ability ahead of popularity. Either way, this is a great listen on audible and I highly recommend it. I also hope Rory comes back to politics at some point and I wish him every success hopefully beyond whatever his phoney ex colleagues achieve but I’ll leave the definition of success up to him!
Another quote of Solzhenitsyn’s I wanted to include as relevant to this book is as follows - “The western world has lost its civic courage….Such a decline in courage is particularly noticeable among the ruling and intellectual elite, causing an impression of a loss of courage by the entire society”. I’ll just leave that there.
