This week's episode looks ahead to two upcoming elections in the Americas – the National Assembly election in the Canadian state of Quebec, and the General Election in Brazil. In Quebec, Francois Legault is heading for a second term of majority Government for his Coalition Avenir Quebec party. What has been the key to the party’s rapid rise prior to 2018 and stability since? Why have the Liberals and Party Qeuebcois faded as significant challengers? And why has the Conservative Party been able to emerge as a big factor in this cycle despite never gaining a single seat before?
In Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro is attempting to win a second term as a President, but is facing tough opposition from former President Luiz Ignacio Lula da Silva. Sam and Chern unpack the two main contenders and discuss the dynamics of the race. What have been the main campaign issues? Why has Lula been such an effective candidate to run against the incumbent President? What motivated Bolsonaro’s original rise in 2018? And why is it looking likely he will be defeated this time? All these questions, and more, answered in this week's podcast.
