Responsible Parties

Listen Later

Has the opening up of political parties been a vital force for change, or bad for democracy as a whole? How can politicians represent both their party members and the voters? Is it game over for the old party politics of left vs right, and for the old party establishment? This week Matthew Taylor and Ian Leslie are putting political parties in the spotlight.

Guests:

  • Ian Shapiro, co-author of Responsible Parties: Saving Democracy from Itself and professor of political science at Yale
  • Isra Allison, executive director of Brand New Congress
  • Nasim Thompson, co-founder of Justice Democrats
