Description

In the past few weeks snap elections have been called in France and UK and today in conversation with Marie, who is Irish and Sue who is British, we explore what these elections mean for our respective democracies; we discuss Brexit, the gilets jaunes, the growing influence of social media and remember Churchill's famous quip about Democracy being worst possible system of government, except that is for all the others.
