Episode Episode 5: The rise of populism
With populists rising to power around the world, Ben wants to know why, and how they flourish. Could establishment politicians learn a thing or two from populists about how to communicate? Do populists offer real solutions to voters’ problems do they ever actually deliver on their promises?
Guests:
Lone Sorensen, Associate Professor of Political Communication at the University of Leeds
Kevin Casas-Zamora, Secretary-general of the International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance (IDEA)
