Is populism the lowest form of politics?

That’s the question that was posed by Fergus Finlay this week in his column in the Irish Examiner. He has been suggesting that the recent moves by UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson and US President Donald Trump show how damaging populism can be.

Fergus and political scientist Eoin O’Malley joined Kieran on Wednesday's edition of The Hard Shoulder to discuss the role of populism in politics.
