This week on Socially Democratic, Stephen speaks with John Armitage, one of the most respected social researchers and communication strategists on the Australian left.

As recent polls have shown, the political landscape in Australia is rapidly shifting. So what's next? Where to now for the Labor Party, the Liberal Party and One Nation?

They cover:

🔴 How should State Labor and the ALP position themselves if they want to continue being seen as the natural party of government?

🔵 What will become of the Liberal Party? Who are they today, and why have they so badly failed to address voter concerns?

🟠 What drives Australians to One Nation? Of all the minor and fringe political parties to choose from, why them?

🎯 The need for a bold policy change to address economic unfairness and appeal to drifting voters.

🎭 Recommendations for state and federal Labor on developing a clear message of contrast to One Nation - as well as exposing the hypocrisy of their "ordinary person" narrative.
