The Election Tricycle

Narrative vs Reality: is the public out of sync with political truth?

Listen on

Episode notes

On this week's episode of The Political Cycle, Rohan Venkat, Emily Tamkin and Tom Hamilton gather to take a 'vibes check' on their respective nations. Are the narratives emerging – that Kamala Harris has blown it, that Narendra Modi is in crisis, that Keir Starmer is another lame duck PM – matching reality? We also touch base with the results of the Haraya assembly elections and look at where they fit into the picture, as well as polling oscillations in the US, and staffing nightmares in Downing Street.
