Burka bans in Europe: Why the burka is so important for right-wing populists


Why the burka is so important for right-wing populists
On 7 March, Switzerland became the latest European country to vote in favour of a so-called "burka" ban. It was yet another feather in the cap of the right-wing populist Swiss People's Party (SVP) on an issue that remains a perennial favourite with the Right across Europe. Essay by Daniel Bax
Nearly four years ago, Germany's then Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere drew up a catalogue of ten things he considered part of the German

India – a sinkhole for the democratic world?
For almost 75 years, India – the mega-state in South Asia of almost 1.4 billion people – has borne the proud title of “The World’s Biggest Democracy”. As part of an independent federal election commission, established to oversee free and fair elections in this diverse nation, I observed for many years the integrity with which Indian citizens went about the process of electing their leaders. In spite of all its weaknesses and inequalities, India managed to prove to the whole world – and especially to its autocratic neighbour to the north, China – that size and democracy can and should be combined. A powerful expression of this were the (at least) five peaceful transitions of powers which India managed since 1947.
