Description

When is a vote not a vote? Billions of people will go to the polls around the world this year but in Britain and the US, will the elections cover up deep democratic decay? Plus, the Conservative’s long goodbye to power is creating its own alternative universe of TV, comment and counterfactual reality. What happens when the Tory infosphere loses its mind? 
• “The country that’s worrying me at the moment is Germany.” – Marie Le Conte.
• “Some people want Fox News for Britain and the more controversial the better.” – Rachel Cunliffe.
• “One of the best things to grow your profile online is to be really extreme and that’s basically what’s happened with Miriam Cates.” – Rachel Cunliffe.
