/83/ Now It's Syrizous
🕑 Added 2019-08-08 07:31:00 +0000 UTCSyriza lost the last Greek elections after 4 1/2 years in power. What happened to the party that for a time represented the European radical left's hopes? Did it achieve anything in power? Many talk about Tspiras' "betrayal" - is that the right way to look at it? And what are the wider consequences of this defeat - is time up for this wave of "left populists"?

Thanks for the excellent reading list

An episode on party structure and the organisation of some populist movements as platforms would be nice. But I feel like this may have already been discussed in an earlier episode?
