This week's episode looks at the ongoing political crisis in Sri Lanka, and takes a closer look at how the race to replace Boris Johnson as UK Prime Minister has unfolded. In Sri Lanka, Gotobaya Rajapaska has resigned but the political and economic unrest continues. Can Ranil Wickremesinghe restore trust in the political system and begin to solve their economic woes? What were the origins of these crises and what does the future hold for Sri Lanka? Are there lessons that can be drawn from countries with similar experiences?
In the UK, the race to replace Boris Johnson is entering its final stages as Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak face the verdict of Conservative Party members. Sam and Chern unpack the MP ballots and discuss how we got to this face-off. Why did we end up with Truss vs Sunak, and was it always the inevitable final chapter of this contest? Who were the biggest surprises and greatest disappointments in the MP ballots? What issues have defined the Truss-Sunak head-to-head? And which of the former leadership contenders do we expect to feature in the victor’s new Cabinet? All these questions, and more, answered in this week's podcast.
