It's Bloody Complicated - A Compass Podcast

The Threat of the Far Right | ep. 90

Compass Season 1 Episode 91

On this episode, we brought together an expert panel to discuss the threat of the far-right to democracy and how progressives are fighting for change.

  • Nick Lowles, Hope Not Hate chief executive
  • Hannah Rose, Hate and Extremism Analyst at the Institute for Strategic Dialogue
  • And Luke Cooper, author of Authoritarian Contagion: The Global Threat to Democracy.

With the far right marching steadily into the mainstream in Europe and elsewhere, the endurance of progressive forces and their capacity to win will depend on their ability to build deep and enduring alliances with their political neighbours.

We delved into why now is such a vital moment for this political discussion, what’s at stake and why progressives need to go big to combat the tide of far right extremism sweeping Europe and the globe.
