220 | Sinn Féin and Sardines

We talk about two countries going through dramatic democratic change: Ireland, where Sinn Féin came top of the vote in last weekend's general election, and Italy, where the Sardines are the latest movement trying to shake up the system.  What does the Irish vote tell us about the collapse of two party politics?  Does Sinn Féin's success suggest that the party has changed or that the electorate has changed?  And in
Italy, who or what now stands between Salvini and power?  Plus we discuss whether the age of 'grand coalition' politics is now over.  With Niamh Gallagher, Lucia Rubinelli and Chris Bickerton.
