Reshuffles, Reshuffles, Reshuffles - a podcast by Sam Rippon and Chern Han Mah

This week's episode is all about reshuffles, focussing on major Cabinet reshuffles that have recently taken place in Spain and India. Narendra Modi has expanded his Cabinet once again and has boosted representation of Uttar Pradesh citizens in anticipation of next year’s state elections. Was this reshuffle an admission that the Government has got things wrong? What is the purpose of Amit Shah’s expanded portfolio? Why is the Indian Cabinet so big?

In Spain, Pedro Sanchez has significantly changed his Cabinet, moving some allies and trying to tackle some recent controversies. Will this reshuffle help the party’s floundering opinion poll ratings? Why has the reshuffle happened now, and is the 2017 Catalan referendum still a factor? Do the changes signal a policy shift or is it simply a personnel change? All these questions, and more, answered in this week's podcast.
