In this week’s Realpolitik, with Richard and Gavin:
- This podcast gets a mention on BBC Radio Five Live’s Pods and Blogs, thanks to Matt Wardman.
- Nick Clegg is the new leader of the Liberal Democrats. Is a progressive alliance with the Conservatives in the offing, and what about that god thing?
- The US Presidential race, Mike Huckabee and Chuck Norris.
- Somehow, our data ends up in Iowa as Brown’s Winter of Disc Content continues.
- We make some predications for 2008: A US Democrat will win in November, Northern Rock will be nationalised in January and in May either the Lib Dems or Tories are going to get egg on their face. We also consider whether Brown will still be in office in 2009.
- Faggots and sluts banned and unbanned on Radio 1, as the Pogues get more votes than Nick Clegg.
- The Bali conference turns into a pantomime.
- Brown’s press conference.
- And at the last moment, genitals pop up, both human and lion.
The show was recorded on Wednesday 19th December 2007. If you want to contact us our email address is realpolitikpodcast@gmail.com. We’ll be back in three weeks on 8th January 2008. Have a great Christmas and a happy new year.
