Dr Jason Edwards, Lecturer in Politics at Birkbeck, discusses the role of populism across a range of recent political events - from Brexit, to the election of Donald Trump, to the rise of the far-right Front National in France - as well as commenting on how populism is playing out in the UK general election campaigns. He also discusses populism in the context of wider ideas about sovereignty and control.
