Election 2008 promised to be a grippping drama from day one, but it also promised change: many predicted armistice in the culture wars and an end to bitter partisan politics. So what does the last year of campaigning tell us about a changing America? Is it now a post-racial country, or still a 50/50 nation? And what difference does it make to the rest of the world?
Our expert panel will look back at the longest, closest, most expensive and most watched election in American history and ask: has it lived up to its promises? Has America moved beyond its Vietnam-era schisms? And what do the campaigns have to teach other countries?
And they will look forward and ask what, regardless of who wins, will actually change? Will the next President be able to provide his people with reasonable healthcare, fix a broken economy, and allow America to re-build its status in the wider world?
Join us for what promises to be an unmissable event.
