Wilderness Special: Outsider Politics—Larry Sanders, George Galloway and more

Newsweek's Foreign Service

Larry Sanders, George Galloway, James Schnedier, Isabel Oakeshott and Robert Rowland Smith were guests on Newsweek’s Outsider Politics panel at the Wilderness Festival on August 6 and was chaired by Newsweek Europe's Digital Editor Serena Kutchinsky.Politics is changing, possibly forever. On both sides of the Atlantic, establishment politicians and mainstream parties are being pushed out of power by an electorate angry at what they see as a morally bankrupt elite. Campaigns are won and lost on social media. The traditional axis of left and right is redundant. But is this a passing fad—the result of lingering anger over government’s mismanagement of the financial crisis or a more significant shift which will redefine politics for the 21st century?Larry Sanders is an academic and Green Party Health Spokesperson and older brother of the US Senator Bernie Sanders. James Schneider is the National Organiser of Momentum, the left-wing political organisation. George Galloway is a politician and author. Isabel Oakeshott is the Daily Mail’s Political Editor At Large and co-author of “that” biography of David Cameron and Robert Rowland Smith is a renowned philosopher. Newsweek’s Foreign Service special edition was recorded by William Brooks at Wilderness Festival 2016.
