I started the Build your own Country podcast, because politicians & governments generally suck & most people are disappointed.

I’ve invited some fascinating, and slightly crazy, people to discuss what is broken in politics and governance. Why is the current system rubbish at solving big problems in interesting new ways? Why is politics so divisive? What systems exist to ensure governments’ accountability towards, and alignment with, the people they serve?

Too long we have accepted the ‘Its not great, but it’s the best we got’ line. We are depending on governments to fix more and more of the problems in our societies. 

The future is too important to be left up to the populist antics of politicians. The answer to our problems is not bigger government. 

However, many many more governments may just do the trick.
