He also spoke to France Culture, a major French radio state about the election on 1st May. The podcast is available here.

Chris was cited in an article for El País on the British General Election, focusing on the rise of Liberal Democrats: “The rise of the Liberals can be explained by a genuine wish for something new, something different, and both Gordon Brown and David Cameron appear to voters as representatives of the old style of doing politics.” A translation is available here. He was also quoted on the same subject in an article for Diário Económico, and can be heard speaking to Radio Euskadi here.

Chris Bickerton is Departmental Lecturer in International Relations.
