Launching on 1 March, Electoral Dysfunction will bring together Sky’s Political Editor Beth Rigby, Labour MP Jess Phillips and former leader of the Scottish Conservatives Ruth Davidson to analyse the week in Westminster and beyond.
The trio will look at our political leaders and their policies - how they’re written and how they’re sold to voters - to explain what’s really going on.
They will also look further afield, as more than half of the world’s population goes to the polls in dozens of countries this year.
With so much at stake, the trio will work out which politicians will come out on top and who is suffering from Electoral Dysfunction.
A great resource to educate students on politics and public policy.
Beth Rigby said: "This is a huge political year as we gear up for what could be the most seismic UK election in a generation. But voters aren’t feeling it, with people across the country telling me politics isn’t working.
“Each week, across different issues, I’ll be asking why - and looking for solutions through frank conversations with two of the most compelling, engaging and honest women who have worked in politics.”
Ruth Davidson, who led the Scottish Conservatives between 2011 and 2019 and is now a peer, said: "People hate it when politicians treat them like idiots - parroting a party line that nobody really believes.
"We promise never to do that. Jess and I may often disagree, but we won’t do it simply for disagreement’s sake - and we’re just as likely to take our own side to task.
“This whole podcast is about showing what goes on behind the scenes, explaining how decisions get made and - hopefully - discussing how to make our politics better. It’s a three-woman campaign for less BS in SW1.”
