As (another Emeritus Prof.) John Holford (UNottingham) argues, one clear way to rebuild democracy in this country is to revive & rebuild adult education. As someone who was a mature student (studying between my mid-20s & mid-30s) I completely concur: for many, access to all levels of education after school-leaving age would be a major route to self-fulfilment & a more informed electorate (which is why our political class are lukewarm). #education #politics #democracy h/t Guardian Letters
