Democracy needs an upgrade says Jamie Bartlett
Modern life is digital and fast. Democracy is analogue and slow, and cracks are showing in the system. Young people are blasé about voting, many distrust government, and extremism and populism are bubbling up. Jamie Bartlett is the author of The People vs Tech and the former head of the Centre for the Analysis of Social Media at the think tank, Demos. He says that international cooperation on cybersecurity and private sector ingenuity can help reboot democracy.
