58. Anti-Immigrant Sentiment and the 2027 Elections

We start off this episode discussing immigrants in the UK, in light of ultranationalism and right-wing anti-immigrant sentiment that is sweeping across Europe.

Beginning with the creation of the welfare state from exploitation of the global south, through the place of developing countries in the global economy, to the aging population of the UK, and the fracturing of labour power by neoliberalism, we strip bare the electoral calculus behind the promise of anti-immigration.

We also evaluate the function of consumerism in dealing with the grief of surviving the neoliberal order.

We look, ultimately, at the growth of APC's stronghold in Southern Nigeria in the lead up to the 2027 election as the Enugu state governor, amongst others, defects to APC.

With such defections in usual PDP strongholds, the imminent implosion of PDP and a lot of uncertainty with the LP, questions remain about who will stabilise Nigeria's bourgeios democracy.

The last-minute electoralism of the Obidient movement leaves no obvious answers. What is the strength of the opposition to the APC? What is the fate of immigrants in the global north? Listen and let us know your thoughts.
