What Centrist Politics Is Getting Wrong | Voternomics

Centrist politics is doing it wrong, Michael Ignatieff says. He would know: In 2011 he led Canada's Liberal Party to a historic defeat -- a "painful" experience he discusses with hosts Allegra Stratton and Adrian Wooldridge.
Now a professor of history and a former president of the Central European University, Ignatieff reflects on what he did wrong, including failing to respond to the 2008 financial crisis.
Stephanie is back with a new podcast series.
This is the year of elections. Around 40 percent of the world has the chance to vote in 2024. And those votes will shape the geo-economic landscape for years to come.
The implications for business and democracy are huge and worth exploring, which is why Stephanie is joining Opinion columnist Adrian Wooldridge and Bloomberg contributor and former government advisor Allegra Stratton for a new series called “Voternomics.”
It’s a weekly look at the way geopolitics - and elections - are upending the longstanding assumptions of policymakers and business people around the world. In short, it’s a series about how elections mean business.

This was the worst Voternomics episode. The two speakers are simply Conservatives trashing Keir Starmer. The gentleman compared Labour's 3 months to Conservative Covid lies as equivalent. Really? How many deaths in the last 3 months?
