Globalisation: how it works

So, according to the official lists there were 2,658 attendees heads of state, business leaders, media tycoons, academics, heads of a national organizations like Antonio Guterres (the UN Secretary General), Jan Stoltenberg (NATO Secretary General), heads of the IMF, the World Trade Organization, the World Health Organization, and multitudes of other global organizations came together to sort out the problems of the world. There were some prominent UK politicians including sir Kier Starmer, leader of the Labour Party and Rachel Reeves the labour Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer. They were very supportive of the World Economic Forum program and pledged to put it into practice if elected.

I just watched an interview with Emily Maitlis who interviewed Kier Starmer on a news program where she asked him: 'If you have to choose between Westminster and Davos, which one do you choose?

No hesitation from Starmer who answered: 'Davos.'

'Why?' countered Emily Maitlis.

He said, 'Because Westminster is a kind of tribal shouting match with no meaningful discussions. At Davos, you can exchange with people. You can see yourself working with in the future.'
