episode 23: Unrepresentative Representatives
Episode 22: Do our elected representatives actually represent us, or merely their own self-interest? Politicians increasingly seem to have their own agendas, some of which do not align with the needs or desires of their electorate. There's not so much optimism in this episode, more degrees of cynicism, but is there light at the end of the tunnel? With examples of unrepresentative representatives from Germany, the UK, the Czech Republic and the EU in general. Including a dancing Finn, the Party Party and Nazis.
