Alex Marland + the Political Panel with Jenni and Scott The Herle Burly

    • Politics

It’s a 2-parter on the pod today.

First up is author and professor, Alex Marland. Alex is a professor of Political Science at Memorial University of Newfoundland. He’s a co-editor of the UBC Press book series “Communication, Strategy and Politics”. And he’s long been investigating, and writing about, what goes on behind the scenes in our political sphere. Today we’re going to talk about his new book, “Whipped: Party Discipline in Canada,” which examines the hidden ways parties exert control over elected members of Canadian legislatures.

For Part 2 of the pod, we’ll bring on our Political Panel, strategists extraordinaire, Jenni Byrne and Scott Reid. We'll share some heartfelt stories of the Rt. Hon. John Turner, plus, hot takes on the upcoming BC election, and a few predictions on the Speech from the Throne.

Watch conversations from The Herle Burly on YouTube.
