    Ep. 4 - Out of Touch? How Politicians Learn, Mislearn, and Govern (with Dr. Miguel Pereira)

    Why do political elites so often misread the public -- and why does it matter for democracy? In this episode of Politically In/Sane, Sarina Sharma-Welsh speaks with Dr. Miguel Pereira (LSE) about how politicians learn what voters want, why elite blind spots persist, and how social background, unequal political voice, and social media distort representation. The conversation explores distrust in institutions, polarization, and whether democratic accountability still works—and what it would take to rebuild it.

    Ep. 1 - Do Campaigns Actually Change Minds? ( with Dr. Florian Foos ) - NYC & Dutch elections

    From New York’s mayoral race to the Dutch snap elections, we ask whether modern campaigns still persuade voters - or simply rally those already on their side. Political scientist Dr. Florian Foos joins Marc to unpack the campaign strategies and outcomes, the ongoing ideological reshuffle, and how the relationship between political elites and citizens is evolving. Together, they explore whether persuasion still happens, how it might happen, and what these changes mean for the future of democratic politics.
