There’s nothing extreme about national socialism. It combines the lefts socialism with the rights nationalism. Perfectly centrist

Northumberland is a county council not a unitary authority as the map suggests. The problem with having all unitary authorities is the distribution of population and local folks relationship to what would be amorphous political entities. If you live your life in a field why would you consider the council administered by townies 59 miles away would have your interests when planning?

I have come across this video just at the right moment, when I was wondering how to get information on how populism happens in Africa's politics. Thank you Dr David

Really interested, but the sound is so jumpy, keeps skipping & repeating

My council constantly flip flops from Committee system to leader and cabinet and it is actually always something that the three main parties always end up campaigning on here for some reason.

'Knowsley is not a real place' 😅 Currently writing my thesis on Knowsley.

Populism is statism. Based on concept of social progress in public utility or morality and repressions on social institutions. When elections stealing all merits from social institutions.

Is it possible to get a link to the maps at 2:21?

I find it a touch narcissistic

I believe SYRIZA, is not a Eurosceptic party. If you see what SYRIZA did as a government, you will change opinion.

How would you reform Local Government in England?

Thanks a lot and Greetings from Germany, Frankfurt, Goethe University :))

Cumbria is being divided next year into two local authorities,Cumberland(welcome back)and Westmorland and Furness. North Yorkshire is also going to become all Unitary under North Yorkshire Council as it will be known as. Now that just leaves Lancashire as the 15 or so Councils(both District and Unitary) and the County Council cannot decide what to do with reforming local government there. Personally I think all English councils should be unitary and I think it is time local Government through all of England is reformed once and for all.

Fascist 😠

postliberal?

Very interesting stuff. But a suggestion - change the title from "...UK" to "... England"

5:31 Isles of Sicily??

This man talks a lot of sense despite being a Remainer. And he's very easy on the eye too - lucky students! 😄

No mention of the Redcliffe-Maud report though. I think that would have been helpful as there's no context to how we got to the 1972 Act.

There's no historical bases for independence as a separate people for Liverpool.

Whatever Liverpool wants to be, the Wirral has got nothing to do with Liverpool or its paranoid and parochial us against the world attitude.

When someone asks where I’m from I say anfield Liverpool not Liverpool England. ✌🏻

Definitely not English.

Scouse not English all day long ✊🏴‍☠️

The victim complex is not just a football team and all their so called woes are self made. It is in their genes.

Scousers versus a world of bad wools. The scouse chip is real.

They tried pull Warrington and Chester into the Liverpool city region. We told them where to go.

This is really interesting, how a political party can effectively lose a people
