Wilton Park: a meeting of minds

Chief Executive Richard Burge talks about Wilton Park and the unique role it plays for political dialogue.

Out of the public eye?? this means it very likely not in there interest.

Wilton Park started to help establish a democracy in Germany after WWII?

That's nice, well done, but when are we going to get democracy in Great Britain?

We certainly don''t have one at the moment - we do, however, have something that looks very much like a Corporatocracy which tends to largely ignore the will of the people of our nation countless times.

May I remind you of the origin of the word Democracy. It is from the Greek demokratia, from demos the people + -kratia power, rule.

I hadn't realised Wilton Park played such a roll toward the end of the war. Hopefully i can find a few books to read on this era.
