Alastair Campbell believes that although sexism and misogyny are not acceptable, they remain very present in modern society due to the influence of Macho political figures and right-wing rhetoric.

“they're not acceptable in today's society but they're very present in today's society”

Modern representative democracy in the UK is dysfunctional because elected officials are largely unrepresentative of the working-class population.

“what we have now is a society that's so deeply unequal that in a representative democracy, the people who are elected to represent us are unrepresentative of us.”

Legislative capping of the House of Representatives creates unfair discrepancies in the power of individual votes based on state population.

“because we capped that, it means that there is this artificial um capping of the power of people in more populous states. And again, that's not democracy. What that says fundamentally is that if you are voting in, say, Wyoming, your vote is worth much more than if you're voting in California.”
