Cost of Living Populism: A Discussion

Le résumé fourni par la source

ABSTRACT Could ‘cost of living populism’ offer a way forward for the left? Chris Bick of IPPR sat down with Persuasion UK's Steve Akehurst, the New Statesman's Anoosh Chakelian, and IPPR's Sam Alvis to talk through the politics of affordability. The discussion spans what voters actually mean when they name the cost of living as their top concern, the transmission mechanisms that might make relief visible, where such appeals have been deployed around the world, and the electoral coalitions the strategy might hold together in the UK. Also topics include the potential benefits and pitfalls of picking cost of living ‘villains’, and the challenges of governing as a cost of living populist under constraints such as fiscal space, state capacity, and message discipline.
