#078 - Matt Goodwin - Are Nigel Farage and Reform Britain’s Next Government
Manage episode 485469162 series 2794695
Matt Goodwin is a British political scientist, author, and public intellectual known for his work on populism, national identity, and political realignment. With decades of research and media experience, he’s become one of the UK’s most provocative and insightful voices on the future of British politics.
In this interview, we explore the meteoric rise of Nigel Farage and Reform UK, the collapse of the Conservatives, and what may be the most profound political shift in Britain since the early 20th century. Matt breaks down why mainstream parties have lost touch with voters, how mass immigration and cultural drift have reshaped the national mood, and why Farage’s brand of nationalism is resonating across class, age, and region. We also tackle political censorship, the failure of multiculturalism, and whether Britain is heading for a complete democratic realignment — or something even bigger.
