S2 Ep.4 Party Leaders with Professor Amanda Bittner

How to Win Arguments with Numbers

In this season we look at different issues surrounding elections. In the fourth episode we talk to Professor Amanda Bittner from Memorial University about leaders of political parties. From an outsider perspective it seem obvious that who leads a party would matter to voters. However the research on this does not always show that this is the case. We discuss party leaders' role in democracies and whether that role is changing.
