About this episode
Hans Noel joins us this week to share ten insights into how politics, campaigns, and political parties work.
Is there such a thing as “the will of the people?” Why do political parties act the way they do? We also discuss Duverger’s Law, campaign finance, presidential elections, special interests, and grassroots movements.
