Leighton Smith Podcast #249 - July 31st 2024 - Patrick Basham & Ramesh Thakur

The Leighton Smith Podcast - A podcast by Newstalk ZB - Wednesdays

Patrick Basham returns to The Leighton Smith Podcast with the Democracy Institute’s polling for the 2024 Presidential election, in association with the Daily Express. Patrick has built a reputation with us as being arguably the most articulate researcher and commentator on electoral matters. He also answers the question as to whether “diversity, equity and inclusion” is advancing further on its progressive path. Or has the tide turned? And Ramesh Thakur in part two of our 80 minute interview. We discuss equity versus equality, human rights, the dangers of a cashless society and Julian Assange (on which he has an interesting position). And we finish up in The Mailroom with Mrs Producer.
