In this episode I invite another guest from beyond our borders to provide yet another view from the outside looking in. This time Sri from India joins me. He is a former journalist and very much versed in global affairs. The effects of the political decisions being made are not just felt by those of us closest to them, the whole world is feeling them. Join the conversation as we examine how the decline of politics at home sends shockwaves far beyond, affecting lives across the globe.
