In case you’ve been buried neck deep in US political news, there are some fairly important elections taking place across the globe. For the first country in our little global election coverage, we’ll be looking at the United Kingdom.

The UK has had plenty of ups and downs throughout its history; from emerging as a global financial hub during the industrial revolution, to falling from grace in the post-World War II era, to joining the EU in the 70’s and revitalizing London as a financial center…and then starting the cycle all over again with Brexit. So, what’s the significance of the most recent election?

The Labour party took a nice victory and knocked out 2/3 of the ruling Conservatives from their seats. This will allow the Labour party to steer the direction of the country, but they’ll have their work cut out for them. If we’re going to see the UK regain significance, they’re going to have to undergo a comprehensive economic realignment OR swallow their pride, trade in their tea for coffee, and partner up with North America.

We appreciate the interest and engagement from our followers, but with Peter’s travel schedule and sheer volume of requests, we are unable to answer non-business-related questions via e-mail. Use the ‘Ask Peter’ page below for your video topics, ideas and burning questions…

Here at Zeihan On Geopolitics we select a single charity to sponsor. We have two criteria:

 

First, we look across the world and use our skill sets to identify where the needs are most acute. Second, we look for an institution with preexisting networks for both materials gathering and aid distribution. That way we know every cent of our donation is not simply going directly to where help is needed most, but our donations serve as a force multiplier for a system already in existence. Then we give what we can.

 

Today, our chosen charity is a group called Medshare, which provides emergency medical services to communities in need, with a very heavy emphasis on locations facing acute crises. Medshare operates right in the thick of it. Until future notice, every cent we earn from every book we sell in every format through every retailer is going to Medshare’s Ukraine fund.

 

And then there’s you.

 

Our newsletters and videologues are free and we will never share your contact information with anyone. All we ask is that if you find one of our releases in any way useful, that you make a donation to Medshare. Over one third of Ukraine’s pre-war population has either been forced from their homes, kidnapped and shipped to Russia, or is trying to survive in occupied lands. This is our way to help who we can. Please, join us.
