Party Favors: Are smaller parties getting their shot in India and the UK?

The Political Cycle

Rohan takes us to the Lok Sabha – the lower house of the Indian parliament – to look at how the fallout from the general election is impacting the vote there. A new Speaker will be elected at the end of June, but will the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) secure the post? In London, Tom talks us through the impact that Nigel Farage and his Reform party is having in reshaping the landscape of the British Right, while, in the US, Emily looks at how – and why – the Right gets away with characterising its politics as "common sense".
