Politics 101

​The first session of the Political Organising Module of the course in Political Technology at Newspeak House, open to fellowship candidates only.

​Join us for a comprehensive session exploring the political landscape of the United Kingdom. This session will cover:

• ​Political Theory: An analytical discourse on the foundational political theories and ideologies shaping the contours of contemporary UK politics. We will dissect the principles and beliefs that have historically influenced and continue to underpin the political climate.

• ​Political Technology: A critical examination of the intersection between technology and political processes. We aim to unravel the political implications of technological advancements and examine where technology has been leveraged within the political arena.

• ​Trade Unions: An exploration into the mechanics of trade unions, their operational strategies, and their expansive sphere of influence. We will investigate their roles, negotiating power, and the dynamic they bring to the political and economic table.

• ​Political Parties: A strategic session on the internal workings of political parties, the channels through which they exert influence, and the methodologies by which one can engage with and impact their directives.

​This session will help you understand the key theoretical frameworks and practical mechanisms that define the United Kingdom's current political system.
