Delivering for Ordinary People (with Marina Hyde)

Strong Message Here vor 1 Jahr

Who are 'ordinary people'? And do politicians really know how to 'deliver' for them?

0:00

38:24

Comedy writer Armando Iannucci decodes the utterly baffling world
of political language.

This week, Helen Lewis is still away, so Journalist Marina Hyde
steps in to join Armando. They discuss what an ordinary person
might be, and examine if politicians use them as cover? Why is it
always that things 'ordinary people' are saying 'on the doorstep'
just so happen to be the exact things they wanted to do anyway?

We also look at delivery in politics. Do we believe politicians
when they say they'll deliver? And do we reward them fairly when
they do?

Listen to Strong Message Here every Thursday at 9.45am on Radio 4
and then head straight to BBC Sounds for an extended episode.
