What does the politics of the future actually look like?

This November, we’re bringing together the people building the politics of the future already and we can’t wait to see them all in Brussels!

Better Politics Week brings together the people doing this hard and inspiring work: elected leaders, political leadership innovators, reformers and funders from across the world for three days in Brussels. We’ll share what’s working, tackle what isn’t, explore new approaches to political leadership, and build the relationships needed to move promising ideas further and faster.

Across the week: the Women’s Caucus Learning Exchange, a dedicated philanthropy track, the “PLENary” for our PLEN network, World Economic Forum , Young Global Leaders Learning Days, and Better Politics Day, our flagship public gathering.

The theme: The politics of the future. 𝘕𝘰𝘸.
Because better politics isn’t an abstract idea for tomorrow. It’s being tested, built and practised today.

Swipe through to see what’s happening and keep going to the final slide if you’d like to join us.

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗶𝘀 𝗔𝗜 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗱𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗰𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘆?

In the latest episode of the 𝗕𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗣𝗼𝗱𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁, Lisa Witter unpacks this question with Bruce Schneier and Nathan Sanders, authors of 𝘙𝘦𝘸𝘪𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘋𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘤𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘺: 𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘈𝘐 𝘞𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘛𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮 𝘖𝘶𝘳 𝘗𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘴, 𝘎𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘊𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘻𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘱.

Their conversation moves from individual use cases, including the first AI-written law passed in Brazil and a political party in Japan built around an AI avatar, to the larger structural questions: how to avoid an AI-driven concentration of power, why familiarity shapes who adopts these tools and who resists them, and what governments can do differently this time compared to how they handled other transformative technologies like social media.

Tune in to hear what it will take to steer AI toward strengthening democracy. Listen to the Better Politics Podcast on your favorite platform:

Earlier this year, Germany ranked #𝟭 in the first edition of the 𝘉𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘗𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘴 𝘐𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘹, which measured the support political leaders receive across 10 countries. Undoubtedly a very positive result, but rankings can only tell part of the story.

Our new report 𝗘𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱. 𝗡𝗼𝘄 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁? takes a closer look at the nuances beyond that result. Based on 50 in-depth interviews with Members of the Bundestag and parliamentary staff across parties, it examines what newly elected MPs 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 experience in their first year in office.

Two key findings stand out:

1️⃣ we are not investing enough in our political leaders.

2️⃣ the support infrastructure is failing to keep up as the demands of the job grow more and more complex.

Scroll through the carousel to read our top 10 insights.

This report is a call to action to all institutions and actors working around politics to come together and build better support infrastructures for the people we elect. It was produced with the support of the Robert Bosch Stiftung alongside organizations already doing important work in this space, like Brand New Bundestag and JoinPolitics.

📚 : Deutschland investiert jährlich 𝘮𝘦𝘩𝘳 𝘢𝘭𝘴 3 𝘔𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘯 𝘌𝘜𝘙 in die Führungskräfteentwicklung für Wirtschaftsmanager, Leistungssportlerinnen und -sportler. Für Abgeordnete, also die Menschen, die Entscheidungen treffen, die das Leben von Millionen Menschen prägen? Fast nichts.

Heute stellen wir offiziell unsere Studie „𝗚𝗲𝘄𝗮̈𝗵𝗹𝘁. 𝗨𝗻𝗱 𝗷𝗲𝘁𝘇𝘁? 𝗗𝗮𝘀 𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗲 𝗝𝗮𝗵𝗿 𝗶𝗺 𝗕𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗴 𝘇𝘄𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗨̈𝗯𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘂𝗻𝗴" vor, das Ergebnis eines Jahres Forschung und 50 leitfadengestützter Interviews mit Abgeordneten und parlamentarischen Mitarbeitenden aus verschiedenen Parteien, mit dem Ziel, konkrete Ansatzpunkte zu identifizieren, um den Übergang in das Mandat strukturell zu verbessern und Political Leadership langfristig zu stärken.

Neu gewählte Mitglieder des Bundestages stehen vor einem außerordentlich anspruchsvollen Übergang: Büroaufbau, Personaleinstellung, das Erlernen komplexer parlamentarischer Abläufe und gleichzeitige öffentliche Präsenz, alles auf einmal, alles von Tag eins an.

Was wir von den Menschen gehört haben, mit denen wir gesprochen haben, war eindeutig: Die Anforderungen sind real, die Unterstützung ist unzureichend, und die Konsequenzen gehen weit über einzelne Politikerinnen und Politiker hinaus bis hin zur Funktionsfähigkeit demokratischer Institutionen insgesamt.

Diese Studie, erstellt mit der Förderung von der 𝗥𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘁 𝗕𝗼𝘀𝗰𝗵 𝗦𝘁𝗶𝗳𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗴, ist unser Beitrag zur Veränderung. Die offizielle Vorstellung findet heute im Deutschen Bundestag statt, mit einer Präsentation der zentralen Ergebnisse und einer parteiübergreifenden Podiumsdiskussion mit aktuellen Abgeordneten.
