Dunn Street founder Stephen Donnelly was joined by the former campaign director for Jacinda Ardern's successful landslide election in 2020 and now Public Relations Director at Capital NZ, Hayden Munro.Starting with New Zealand, Hayden discusses Jacinda Ardern’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021. Heading across the Pacific to the United States, we review the Biden Administration’s first year, the fallout from the Jan 6 insurrection, and how the recent gubernatorial elections could impact the 2022 midterms for the Dems. Leaping across the Atlantic, we reflect on a post-Corbyn UK Labour recovery under the leadership of Keir Starmer, as well as the outcomes from the recent climate talks in Glasgow. We wrap things up in Canada with the Liberals re-election of the Trudeau government at the September general election. The presenting sponsor of the Socially Democratic podcast is Dunn Street.
