Manage episode 503262117 series 3683088
This episode asks whether a Corbyn-style left party could gain real power in Australia, exploring rising support in the UK, voter disillusionment with Labor, and the political space for a bold, people-first movement.
It lays out the consequences of the current system — flat wages, unaffordable housing, weak climate action — and proposes solutions like using Australia’s monetary sovereignty, a Job Guarantee, large-scale public housing, expanded Medicare, and steep emissions cuts.
Hosts assess electoral prospects under preferential voting, compare existing left parties and independents, and invite listeners to consider whether an anti‑corporate, justice-focused party could reshape Australian politics.
