Professor Rosie Campbell explores the question of politicians and authenticity on BBC Radio 4's Analysis.

Professor Rosie Campbell presented a recent episode of Analysis on BBC Radio 4 on the topic of authenticity in political life.

How can we make judgements about a politician's authenticity? What does it mean to be authentic, and is it authenticity an important trait for politicians in democracy?

Professor Campbell considers these questions and more in the programme, which can be streamed on the BBC Radio 4 website.
