RethinkRethink… political labelsAt the last General Election Britain’s traditional parties of left and right, Labour and the Conservatives, collectively amassed their lowest vote share ever - well under 60%. Three out of seven Brits voted for Reform UK, the Liberal Democrats, the Green Party or one of Britain’s many regional or nationalist parties.

They trace the anti-globalist backlash to foreign policy decisions made by Western leaders in the decade after the Cold War’s end. These decisions sought to globalize markets and pool national sovereignty at the supranational level while undercutting social protections at home—a combination of policies that succeeded in expanding the Western liberal order, but at th...2023-05-091h 34

Clarity in a Messy World - Season 1#2 - Does the Pandemic Spell the End of Populism?With Prof Catherine E. De Vries (Bocconi University) and Prof Sara B. Hobolt (London School of Economics). Populism has been challenging the established political order in many ways. Yet the pandemic has exposed some of the inconsistencies of populist leaders, prompting some analysts to predict the imminent demise of this trend in its current form. But things aren't quite so simple.2021-03-1030 minShaping the Post-COVID WorldHow the Pandemic Polarised UsContributor(s): Professor Peter Trubowitz, Professor Sara Hobolt, Dr Florian Foos |
We explore political polarisation in the UK, EU, US and on social media in light of COVID-19, and how democracy can be built back.
When the COVID-19 pandemic hit and the world was plunged into lockdown, nations were unified in the fight against the virus. As time has rolled on, a suffering economy, rising infection and death rates, a historic election, Brexit, and confusion around devolved powers have intensified the divide in political attitudes to ideological extremes.

Building on economic theories of industrial organization, Sara and Catherine argue in their new book 'Political Entrepreneurs: The Rise of Challenger Parties in Europe' that political competition is much like a marketplace where firms compete for market shares.

On the right and on the left, populists have been portrayed as polarising forces that reinforce existing divisions in society and pull each side further from the centre. But is this the case?
