Can we imagine a politics where we did not vote for individuals but only for policies?
There are many who see Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin as a threat to world peace. But they are in power because some of us also believe that strong leaders are good for us. Is the mistake to imagine that leaders can solve our problems? Can we imagine a politics where we did not vote for individuals but only for policies? Or do we need leaders however flawed they might be?
Author of Democracy Squared Jon Barnes, The Guardian's China correspondent and foreign leader writer Tania Branigan, Labour MP Jess Phillips and professor of history and politics of modern China at Oxford University Rana Mitter explore our complicated relations with strong leading men and women.
Isabel Hilton hosts.
