In the second episode of "Political Science? No Problem et al.!"
we talk to Nils Steiner about the new German party "BSW", based
on his research on the left-authoritarian supply gap. What
is special about this party? What peculiar positions does it take
on cultural and economic issues? What might its electorate look
like? And does it pose a threat to the rise of the radical right
in Germany?

Nils is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Mainz and
studies voting behaviour, representation and political attitudes.
