Still checking but it looks like Winston Marshall's speech was given on May 8, 2024, before the Oxford Union Society. The topic of his speech Winston Marshall speaks in opposition to the motion that "This House Believes Populism is a Threat to Democracy."
A rising empire doesn’t look like a Green Zone from Baghdad and doesn't have a dementia candidate for president. That’s a sign of a declining empire, a dying empire, that knows it’s dying, and I think on some level they do, and this is when they lash out most, but I do think it’s going to trigger a backlash . . . I’ve seen it from all kinds of places. People who weren’t even active before didn’t care about politics, so enraged by what the system is trying to do that they’re finding any way conceivable to engage. People are starting to realize how powerful local government can be because they actually control how elections are done. They’re going to be running for little positions—city council, county commission . . . . For a populist revolution to work, it needed always to be bottom-up. It could never succeed top down. And they’re forcing that to happen.

Is this that moment and does populists winning elections mean populists implement those policies?
