/422/ Meat the New Prime Minister: UK Election Rundown
from Bungacast · host Bungacast
On Labour's landslide and sandcastle majority. We unpick what happened in the UK's general election, discussing: How did Labour get such a large majority with so little enthusiasm for them? Is the UK now a multiparty democracy, and will there be demands for serious electoral reform? What accounts for low turnout and the fragmentation of the vote (Reform, Greens, Independents, etc)? What is Keir Starmer's electoral base and how will he govern? What is their electoral programme? Is Nigel Farage's reform the real opposition now? Is the Brexit period now definitely over? Will there be a move to rejoin the EU? Links: The McSweeney Project, Tom McTague, UnHerd Debasing Citizenship, Peter Ramsay, TNS Data on the nationalist right + driving to work in the UK and French train stations
