Indonesia: At a Crossroads No Longer

The Prabowo-Gibran ticket has succeeded in portraying the 14 February national election as, in effect, a referendum on Widodo-ism -- with themselves on the overwhelmingly popular side promising "continuity".  But will it instead, unbeknownst to many, actually prove to be a referendum on democracy? Jeff and Kevin discuss new polling data and the impact (if any) of some livelier public discourse in the final days approaching balloting.  We expect a comfortable first-round majority for Prabowo.  Also: a look at the legislative elections, the election-day Quick Count methodology, and some consideration of post-election policymaking.It takes a lot of money to run a podcast.
