Summary

We’ve been governed by populism for over a decade now, as has a lot of Europe. Will it ever blow over? Or are we stuck with it forever? Well, there is one ray of hope and that’s Millennials. Statistics show they're becoming more liberal and overtaking the older right-wing generation in number. But how long could that take? And how could this millennial invasion REALLY impact British politics? “There is this deeply believed thing that the arch of history leads toward progress, and I don’t know if I believe that now.” – Alex Andreou. “Unless we get really strong governance that is able to say “you may not love this, but it has to happen” we are in a world of shit.” – Alex Andreou. “I think the problem is people don’t see Sunak as a Tory right-wing populist.” – Marie Le Conte. “I think what you've seen is a generation growing up with a little bit of hope and seeing it get trashed again and again.” – Zoe Grunewald www.patreon.com/ohgodwhatnow Presented by Andrew Harrison with Alex Andreou, Zoe Grunewald and Marie Le Conte.
