SUMMARY:Why are populists winning?
DESCRIPTION:Join Liam Byrne\, Gaby Hinsliff\, Sam Freedman and Roberto Foa 
 to discuss if we have reached peak populism or its tipping point.\n\nWhy a
 re populists winning? Disillusionment\, delivery and the future of democra
 cy\n\nIn 2024\, two billion people went to the polls\, with populist movem
 ents making significant gains across many Western democracies.\n\nFrom the
  return of President Donald Trump in the United States\, to the surge of M
 arine Le Pen in France\, to the electoral breakthroughs of Reform UK\, est
 ablished political systems are now facing mounting pressure.\n\nAs voters 
 across the UK prepare to head to the polls\, these trends feel increasingl
 y close to home.\n\nIs this peak populism or populism’s tipping point?\n
 \nDisillusionment with traditional parties has grown alongside a new infor
 mation environment that rewards outrage and erodes trust – in institutio
 ns\, in expertise\, and in the idea that the system still delivers for ord
 inary people.\n\nSo how did we end up here? Is Viktor Orban’s defeat the
  beginning of the turning of the tide? What does research tell us about wh
 o is turning to populist movements\, and why? And what might this shift me
 an for the future of democratic governance\, policymaking and public servi
 ces?\n\nJoin our panel ahead of the vote to discuss these questions and mo
 re.\nSpeakers\n\n 	The Rt Hon Liam Byrne MP\, Chair of the Business and Tr
 ade Select Committee and author of Why Populists Are Winning and How to Be
 at Them\n 	Gaby Hinsliff\, Columnist at The Guardian\n 	Sam Freedman\, Sen
 ior Fellow at Institute for Government\n 	Roberto Foa\, Director at the Ca
 mbridge Centre for the Future of Democracy\n 	Professor Bobby Duffy\, Dire
 ctor of the Policy Institute at King’s College London (chair)\n
