Episode notes

We need system change, not just a leadership change or political party makeovers.

All of this focus on political leaders and their personalities has our hosts frustrated.

What is it about leadership races and elections that makes people forget about the issues most important to them?

Here are a few episodes related to this discussion:

Leadership Cults in Politics: On the trappings of playing to the leader vs. leader narrative, why they exist and how we can move away from these 'leadership cults' in politics.

Our Leaders Are Landlords: 4 of the 5 federal Party leaders are now landlords. Why do we keep electing wealthy people to lead the working class? Is this what Representative Democracy looks like?
