The price of democracy?
How much is a pint of milk? A litmus test for politicians everywhere. But how much does a democracy cost? Well, if you’re Argentinian, you could answer quite quickly and precisely: forty billion US dollars.Macron or move on?
Since Emmanuel Macron welcomed back a new parliament in July 2024 things have not gone smoothly. Each Prime Minister appointed by the French President - Barnier, Bayrou, and Lecornu - has tried and failed to form effective governments due to a bitterly divided legislature. Radical parties on both the left and right have exposed a shrinking centre ground in French politics, building pressure on Macron to resign in the face of unprecedented public unpopularity. With Lecornu re-appointed just four days after his resignation with a new promise to delay planned pension reform, why has French politics descended into chaos?What does the victory for Babiš in Czechia tell us about populism?
Over the weekend, Czechia became the latest country to elect a populist prime minister. Self-styled Trumpist Andrej Babiš, albeit a centre-right version, completed his political comeback by winning more than a third of the vote, ousting the pro-European coalition led by Petr Fiala. Babiš now appears poised to join Viktor Orbán of Hungary and Robert Fico of Slovakia in opposing the European Union’s efforts to bolster Ukraine in its war against Russian aggression.‘The new Brexit’ - why is climate action the populist right's next battleground?

At the end of Climate Week NYC we look at how, once again, misinformation, mistrust of international institutions, and the weaponisation of national sovereignty form the backbone of Nigel Farage’s plan.
