The Students are Revolting! How youth protests do, and don't, intersect with the national conversation
On this week's episode of The Election Tricycle, we're looking at the wave of student protests – from New York to LA – which are sweeping America. Is this something that will come into play once election season begins in earnest? Are universities also hubs of revolutionary thought in India? Meanwhile, in the UK, Scotland's First Minister, Humza Yousef, has imploded, sending the country into crisis. What next for Scotland, the SNP and the question of independence?

Complacency vs Confidence: how do heavily favored candidates beat inertia?
As voting begins in India, we're looking at the question of whether the favourites, in our three races, are confident or complacent. With all the polls indicated a big win for Labour in the UK and Modi's BJP in India, does complacency sneak in? And with the race between Donald Trump and Joe Biden still on a knife edge, does the dynamic of the election shift compared with the other wheels on our trike? How does the rhetoric from Trump and Biden stir their support bases out of a complacency, and get them fired up to return their man to the Oval Office? And are Narendra Modi's latest campaign comments, which the Opposition attacked for being anti-Muslim hate speech, a sign that the BJP is worried about its supporters not turning out in sufficient numbers? As ever, Tom Hamilton, Rohan Venkat and Emily Tamkin tackle the big issues.

Digital Campaigning 101
This week, the Tricycleers are joined by Matthew McGregor, CEO or 38 Degrees and veteran of digital campaigns in the UK and the US. How has digital campaigning evolved over the years? Are the right better at using these tools than the left? How impactful is cash on digital results, or can organic results be produced with even the tightest of budgets? As ever, Tom, Emily and Rohan are your guides through the maze, looking at the similarities and difference in these three election cycles.

Change vs Continuity: are incumbents masquerading as insurgents?
This week on The Election Tricycle, Emily returns from vacation and updates us on that Slovakian election (spoiler alert: it didn't go well). Then the gang gather to compare their elections and look at the question of 'change'. Is Rishi Sunak a change Prime Minister or a continuity Prime Minister? How does Donald Trump keep running as an outsider? And how do the BJP stop things getting stale after 10 years as the governing party in India?

Tech and Elections: could social media and AI imperil democracy?
On this week's episode of The Election Tricycle, with Emily on holiday (or "vacation", as she calls it), we're looking at the interaction of elections and technology. To discuss this, we're joined by Yashraj Sharma, an India-based reporter who has written about YouTube, social media and AI, especially in the context of the upcoming elections in India. Rohan Venkat and Tom Hamilton pick his brain and also chip in with their own observations about what could prove to be a turning point in the history of democracy.

How do the Indian elections actually work?
With only a few weeks remaining before India goes to the polls, we thought it was a good moment to get Tom and Emily to interrogate Rohan about how the elections actually work in India. What is the structure of the voting? How does such a large, unwieldy electorate go to the polls and maintain the integrity of the vote? How long will it take for a result to reveal itself? And what parallels are there in the British and American electoral systems?

Customer Reviews
Well worth a listen
Really enjoying this podcast and finding the insights on the Indian election cycle especially fascinating.
I realise I may biased living in the UK, as I’m bombarded with info about UK and American elections constantly, but I do wish the Indian journalist spoke for longer. I always feel like he gets much less time than the other two, when it’s the perspective I want to listen to most. I’ve subscribed to his substack, so maybe I’ll just have to get my information that way.
I Also like that, apart from the American journalist occasionally, there does seem to be some consistent attempt to speak in a nonpartisan way, despite the Brit being ex-Labour. I really appreciate this when it feels like so much coverage from all sides of the political spectrum is unable to restrain itself in this way.
Really interesting and am recommending to friends!
