Is the left losing the political argument in Europe? Stephen
Sackur speaks to Yanis Varoufakis, Greece’s radical leftist
finance minister at the height of the economic crisis, and an
advocate of a new global progressive politics. The old
certainties in European politics are crumbling. Voters seem fed
up with the long established supremacy of the parties of centre
right and centre left. The politics of identity and raw emotion
have fuelled populist insurgencies from Italy to Sweden to
eastern Europe. Mostly it’s the right, not the left in the
ascendant.
