About the Speech:

Mr Luce analysed what he sees as the weakening of Western liberal democracy. He argued that the popular support for figures such as Donald Trump, Marine le Pen and others are not the cause of this but rather a symptom. He argued that ignorance of the effort it took to build Western liberal democracy and complacency about its durability could lead to its demise.
