Live Recording of Past Present Future podcast: Prime Minister Farage?

Hill House School and The Hayfield School are pleased to host this special live recording of the popular Past Present Future podcast. Host, David Runciman will talk to Professor Robert Ford of Manchester University about the possibility of Nigel Farage as PM.

Are there any historical parallels for such a political outsider reaching the heart of government? What would have to happen between now and the next election to make it possible? What is the appeal of Reform to the young? What would a Farage premiership actually look like? How would it change British politics?

David Runciman in Honorary Professor of Politics at Cambridge University and the author of many books, including Political Hypocrisy, How Democracy Ends and The History of Ideas. This summer he hosted the 20-part BBC Radio 4 series Postwar, about the 1945 general election and its historical legacy.

Robert Ford is Professor of Political Science at Manchester University. His books include Revolt on the Right, Sex, Lies & Politics and Brexitland. He writes regularly for The Guardian
