The Election Tricycle
Complacency vs Confidence: how do heavily favored candidates beat inertia?
Listen on
Episode notes
As voting begins in India, we're looking at the question of whether the favourites, in our three races, are confident or complacent. With all the polls indicated a big win for Labour in the UK and Modi's BJP in India, does complacency sneak in? And with the race between Donald Trump and Joe Biden still on a knife edge, does the dynamic of the election shift compared with the other wheels on our trike? How does the rhetoric from Trump and Biden stir their support bases out of a complacency, and get them fired up to return their man to the Oval Office? And are Narendra Modi's latest campaign comments, which the Opposition attacked for being anti-Muslim hate speech, a sign that the BJP is worried about its supporters not turning out in sufficient numbers? As ever, Tom Hamilton, Rohan Venkat and Emily Tamkin tackle the big issues.
