November 15, 2018 Fiji - November 15, 2018
This week on Probably About Politics we've got a smaller election, but certainly an important one, in the Pacific! As always, there is a lot in the news so you could miss the national election taking place in Fiji. But, as a democracy with a history of coups, a growing young population, and major questions about its future, particularly in areas of the economy and climate change, this will prove to be a small but mighty election with significant implications for one of the Podcast’s favourite regions in the world.
