From Vancouver to Varanasi: Where Candidates Come From?
5:04pm - 5:59pm
In this episode we attempt to answer the question: Where do the candidates we see on the ballot come from? We look at how Akhil fell into the role of treasurer of the BCNDP in the electoral district of Vancouver-Fairview/Vancouver-Little Mountain and the upcoming face-off of "Arman and Akhil Show" guests Christine Boyle and Andrea Reimer there. Meanwhile in the United Kingdom, George Galloway invokes biblical allegory as he triumphs in Rochdale. We then discuss the crisis of electoral funding in India as a non-AOC barista is looking primed for success in Varanasi, India. In South Africa, the African National Congress faces a new threat - Jacob Zuma's chihuahua army. Finally, in California, Democratic candidate Adam Schiff brings "Moneyball" tactics to the jungle primary.
