Yes!  But it&#8217;s fair to say that we start off with a little less direction!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ve peaked GDP and retain a small surplus but can we make it the first term ever where we eliminated &#8216;boom and bust&#8217; as Gordon Brown once famously said (before the 2009 financial crisis).  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The global economy is not looking great &#8211; a feeling we&#8217;re used to over the past decade and more.  Is it even possible to insulate an entire outward-looking nation against the whims of global production lines and financial services?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Follow us through the wilderness years in Democracy 4 as we continue to take the UK in a new direction.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Universal Basic Income is still a major policy, and now the biggest part of government expenditure but it remains deeply unpopular with the voters.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Will they warm to it over time or will we be forced to choose between returning to the old legacy benefits system or losing the election?  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Watch now to find out in our latest Democracy 4 UK video!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"video-container\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IxyLmlTYwvE?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-GB&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you also find yourself running out of steam as the terms roll on?
