Hello everyone! We are aware that last weekend saw a bumper European election day, and we’re excited to bring coverage of it soon. This week has been tricky for all of us to organise a time to sit down and record, but we promise an episode is inbound next week!

The Netherlands held provincial, water board and island council elections on 15th March.

The results sent waves through Dutch politics- all the parties lost seats to the agropopulist Farmer-Citizen Movement.

Why? And what does this entail?

Listen up!

This time we tackle that all-important topic of upper houses, or second chambers, with a special focus on the UK's bizarre House of Lords. How does the H Lords work, and where does it come from? What's the best way to design a 2nd chamber?

On this episode, we discuss a concept formulated by political scientist James Loxton, which identifies one of the most interesting types of parties: authoritarian successor parties. They were born in dictatorship but are successful in democracy, why?

On this episode, we cover the most recent elections in the #FaroeIslands. Disputes around LGBTQI+ rights, inflation, and relations with Russia drove much of the battle for the #Løgting.

This may be the only English-language chat about Faroese politics!
