Episode 09: The Calm before the Storm: reflections on an afternoon before polling day
In this episode Prof. Charlie Lees chairs a discussion with Prof. Michael Ben Gad and Dr. Konstantin Vossing. They assess the UK election campaign as we approach the last week, get diverted by Joe Biden’s calamitous performance in the TV debate with Donald Trump, and speculate as to how a future Labour-led UK will navigate an increasingly unpredictable international scene. On the way, they discuss electoral systems, political gambling, and ponder an alternative universe where George Galloway is Minster of Defence.
