Summary

How did the Conservative Party under Boris Johnson, and the Republicans under Trump, successfully reinvent themselves as the parties of the 'left behind' and advance ever-more establishment and authoritarian goals? For Ash Sarkar, the roots of this are to be found in the years since the 2007 financial crisis, a period of huge social and economic shift, which has been central to the right's dangerous political strategy of constructing reactionary electoral majorities. She has named this the Minority Rule project. In this book, Ash Sarkar explores how the Minority Rule project has taken over our politics by stoking fear and panic in our media landscape - how liberal elites are silencing the 'forgotten' working class, how the urban young are waging war on the nation's cultural institutions, and how cancel culture is threatening free speech.
