Starmer's latest No.10 changes should be the start of a bigger reform | Institute for Government

Very interesting & tallies with my findings on experimentation @ Cdn Heritage. I would put leadership at the top of the list; in my work I found that it was not enough for leaders to accept experimentation/innovation - they need to actively *champion* it

I study party platforms, but always know few voters actually read them. In this federal election, platforms matter even less. Given the amount of uncertainty, policy proposals are written in pencil. Voters are wise to invest their time in choosing honorable MPs and leaders to make tough decisions.

Re-upping this. Senior folks in any discipline relevant to global affairs or public policy should apply (polisci, econ, soc, history, anthro, area studies, geography...). It's a genuinely nice place to work in a great city. I'm on the committee and happy to chat.
