Shortly after we recorded last week, on a drizzly Wednesday, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced that the long-awaited UK General Election would take place in July. So, this week Emily Tamkin is quizzing Tom Hamilton – a former strategist for
With Rohan away and Tom – *cough* – busy (until the Premium section), Emily is joined by Karishma Mehrotra, south Asia correspondent for the Washington Post. They'll be discussing Prime Minister Narendra Modi's pitch to women voters, demographi
The shape of an economy is inevitably a big vote-mover in an election, and 2024 is no different. In India, the stock market has slumped during the election period, while, in the UK, the country's has formally left recession territory. But do th
Rohan Venkat and Emily Tamkin are joined by Manisha Pande – standing in for Tom – to discuss the relationship between the media and the elections in India, which have begun in earnest. Is mainstream TV news still dominating the political cycle?
On this week's episode of The Election Tricycle, we're looking at the wave of student protests – from New York to LA – which are sweeping America. Is this something that will come into play once election season begins in earnest? Are universiti

On this week's episode of The Election Tricycle, with Emily on holiday (or "vacation", as she calls it), we're looking at the interaction of elections and technology. To discuss this, we're joined by Yashraj Sharma, an India-based reporter who
With only a few weeks remaining before India goes to the polls, we thought it was a good moment to get Tom and Emily to interrogate Rohan about how the elections actually work in India. What is the structure of the voting? How does such a large
The Slovakian election is just round the corner, so we decided to dial up Dalibor Roháč, a Washington-based Slovak to talk about the elections and the return of former Prime Minister Peter Pellegrini. Then the gang look at the parallels between

This week Emily, Rohan and Tom are looking at age. A new report has cleared President Biden over the handling of classified documents but offered a damning series of judgments over his fitness for high office. Is he simply too old to be Preside
The Election Tricycle is back, and this week Rohan is discussing the accusations of corruption Prime Minister Modi is levelling at opposition leaders in India. How do these compare to the rhetoric being waged by President Trump in the US? Well,
