Sir John Major delivering keynote speech 'In Democracy We Trust?' @instituteforgov #ifgjohnmajor

instituteforgovernment.org.uk/events/john-ma…
Major: "we take democracy for granted: we should not. It is far more complex than simply having the right to vote" #ifgjohnmajor
Major: Confidence that democracy was secure was premature

“In each of the last fifteen years, democracy has shrunk a little, as political and civil liberties have been diminished”

.@stephenkb offers his reflections on how the IfG could be the best it could be. He says he was struck by the Afghan withdrawal, in contrast to 'no deal' Brexit, it could not divert the people that it needed to work on this. #IfGDirector
@stephenkb SB: There are challenges of an aging population and net zero, and UK also needs to rethink it's economic outside the EU. The government has identified the big challenges but it's not clear if it can meet them #IfGDirector
@stephenkb SB: there has now been a conservative government without David Cameron for as long as there was one. He reshuffled less frequently, and we've seen the impact that had on performance. #IfGDirector

BM: Tony Blair is right that the government is losing the capacity to identify and solve the country's biggest problems. There are many things that do work well - like the vaccine roll out - but examples of the opposite are "too frequent for comfort".
BM: Britain accepts compliments for government when it should not There is a state of complacency that is corrosive for public trust. On energy regulation, on the Afghan exit, on the postmaster scandal and fraud on pandemic loans #IfGDirector
BM says she will focus on three problems
1. failings in basic competence
2. the lack of clear responsibility and accountability for performance
3. the shortcomings of an old constitution in the 21st century.

How is new immigration system and preference for high-skilled labour working?

@M_Sumption: EU migration has been pretty low, only few thousand coming in on work visas - may be Brexit but also pandemic etc, & may not remain like this forever
.@M_Sumption: re. shortages, really difficult to disentangle causes & not clear how long these problems will last

Will depend how easy will be for employers/economy to adjust through automation/shifts in industry size
