Episode 03: What Kind of Society are the Main Parties in this Election trying to Build?
The third episode of City Politicos’ 2024 Election podcast is hosted by Chris Rojek, Professor of Sociology and Head of the Department of Sociology and Criminology at City, University of London. He is joined by Michael Ben-Gad, Professor of Economics, and Ian Pace, Professor of Music, Culture and Society. They discuss the effect of voting of Nigel Farage’s return to organized politics. What are the main differences between the Parties with respect to the society that they are trying to build in the next 5 years? They also consider such issues as the two main party leaders’ stance on defence, what a Kemi Badenoch Conservative leadership might mean for British politics, and the prospects both in the former Labour seats known as the ‘Red Wall’, and the possibility of a new ‘Blue Wall’ of previously solid Conservative seats which could be lost at this election.’
