2024 is the year of the election. More than two billion people will go to the polls in national elections – more than 50% of GDP is represented in the 70 countries that will elect governments next year.

 

Markets like stability, predictable politics, and elections that run smoothly. I am afraid that 2024 will give you none of these. But awareness of, and thoughts about, what’s happening in politics in the sector you care about can help you prepare for what’s coming. That is the purpose of the snapshots contained here – and I’m very proud of what the team has delivered for you this year.

Here in Britain, FTI Consulting’s most recent polling revealed something quite surprising, which is that amid all the negativity in British politics, a majority of people at every age level of the electorate still say they intend to vote positively – they intend to vote for something, not against something. Less surprisingly, our polling also shows what everyone else’s does too – that Rishi Sunak’s Conservative Party has a mountain to climb if they are to prove competitive at the polls.

In these snapshots, we take a look at the political and policy positions on offer from the parties seeking to win your vote, and what a different administration in No 10 might look like.

Whatever your business needs in politics and public affairs, in Britain or abroad, the FTI Consulting team stands ready to support you in what is to come – in the busiest and most exciting political year of our lives.

Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas.

Alex Deane
Head of UK Public Affairs
