Working class voices are absent in our politics. That’s a problem for all of us.

Political elites don’t talk about the working class anymore. That’s a problem, whether you’re on the left or the right. Because any political system should look like the nation it governs.

If a group of people don’t see themselves – or their concerns – represented in their parliament, trust in government declines. Our country gets more divided.
