The current rise of populism challenges the way we think about people’s relationship to the economy.We seem to be entering an era of populism, in which leadership in a democracy is based on preferences of the population which do not seem entirely rational nor serving their longer interests. ...

Judith Collins wants to know why this incompetent and chaotic Labour Gummint opened the border to Australians when she demanded it, "If they hadn't listened to me we wouldn't have been in this position now. Its just sheer incompetence'".
Just like Lisa Sowen-Dissent on RNZ Checkpoint who spent weeks hounding the Govt. into opening the trans-Tasman bubble but now asks listeners if it should be canned.
