How do we move forward in politics?

Recently, it feels impossible. The binary systems in many Western governments foster both division and frustration. Cooperation is hard to come by, making any real change feel impossible. If there is going to be any improvement in our world, there has to be a shift in how we view each other.

This is at the heart of The Alternative UK: a political platform that asks the question “If politics is broken, what’s the alternative?” Its Founder, Indra Adnan, describes this realization of what needs to change as “waking up.” Her platform has started asking the hard questions and taken the first few steps towards cooperation and growth. But how is she doing it?

Indra Adnan, Founder and Co-initiator of The Alternative UK, speaks with Dov Pollack about her story and how to start changing the current political climate. They discuss what The Alternative UK has done, the current roadblocks in US and UK politics, and how to encourage community. Indra also discusses her journey and what it taught her about the world.
