How our politicians handle the growing number of sexual and workplace harassment allegations, which have recently shocked both Parliament and legislatures, will be crucial. “Bad” leadership rears its ugly head with a misuse of power, deliberate misconduct (criminal or immoral) or an atmosphere of intimidation.

Aside from individual courage, non-partisan leadership will be key to a systemic change in political culture.
