Politics Speakers

Politics is a process where rival groups assert competitive claims to mobilise support for their agendas. It involves the strategic distribution of resources, reflecting a power struggle often driven by both material interests and identity factors like culture and values, transcending traditional left-right divides. Members of Parliament (MPs), otherwise known as politicians, are elected representatives who serve as constituency representatives in the House of Commons. Their role as politicians involves voicing the concerns and interests of their constituents, ensuring that these are addressed in national legislative discussions and decisions.

Politicians are hired as keynote speakers for their firsthand insights into leadership, policy-making and global affairs. Their decisions shape markets and influence public opinion, making their perspectives valuable to audiences. For example, politics speakers could speak on international trade and economic nationalism, such as when Donald Trump imposed sweeping tariffs on imported goods, including a 10% baseline tariff on most imports, 25% duties on cars and metals and sharply elevated rates on Chinese goods, some as high as 145%, as well as reaching a trade deal with the UK that covered goods such as steel and beef. Politics speakers can explain the rationale behind such policies, their global impact and the future of political relations. With bold views and real-world influence, politicians deliver talks that are engaging, polarising, and highly impactful.
