The working class inevitably becomes conservative
Listen now
Description
It’s not just that Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives are leading in national polls: it’s that the party is bringing in new groups, including “the people who get stuff done,” as guest Lord Daniel Hannan calls the working class. The prominent British journalist and Tory politician joins Brian from the Conservative policy convention in Quebec City, where he delivered the keynote address, coming from the U.K. where Conservatives have held government more than 13 years. Hannan discusses why the right is the new political home for the proletariat in Canada, the U.S. and U.K., as workers feel abandoned and betrayed on economics and culture by liberals and the left.
