Iceland and Ireland: A Study in Contrast
Manage episode 454538491 series 2812256
This week’s episode breaks down results from legislative elections in both Iceland and Ireland. In Iceland, incumbent coalition partners see historic poor performances, whilst the Social Democrat Alliance reap the rewards. Why did the incumbent parties perform so badly? And what will the next Government look like? In Ireland, as a Fine Gael-Fianna Fáil coalition looks set to be revived, Sam and Chern discuss why they were able to seemingly withstand the global anti-incumbency revolt? And why did Sinn Fein fail to capitalise on mid-term polling highs? All these questions and more answered in this week’s episode.
