Three Answers
(1) There are three pressing issues I would like to address more than any other:
Reversing the decades of damage that mankind has inflicted on the environment and seeking new ways to safeguard the planet for future generations, even if it means making difficult and unpopular decisions.
Addressing the growing inequality in our society by making sure the rich contribute more to society and those living in disadvantage get the opportunity to develop and realise their aspirations.
Abolishing all private schooling and instead creating a level system where every child has access to good education that is focused on individual learning rather than league tables, tests and grades.

(3) I don’t think we need ‘a revolution’. We need many cultural and societal mini-revolutions, changing the way we think about entitlement (at the cost of the environment and others), equality, education, and our rights and responsibilities. However, ‘revolution’ is a fallacy unless you live in a truly oppressive and censorious regime. Claiming that the privileged, western society in which we live is in need of a ‘revolution’ is childish. Let’s focus on the issues that need change and address those collectively and maturely.
