In the age of Tinder and online dating, is modern love rubbish? On this week’s View from 22 podcast, Melissa Kite, Cosmo Landesman and Camilla Swift discuss this week’s Spectator cover feature on why romance is being killed off by digital dating. Is it more brutal or reflective of real life to ruthlessly chase someone on their looks alone through apps and websites? Is it a tragedy that young romantics are missing out on the art of courtship?
James Forsyth and David Skelton also discuss the Tories’ gamble to woo working class voters ahead of the election. Would extending the ‘right to buy’ properties to housing associations bring back voters who haven’t voted Conservative since 1992? Or is it too late to engage in such a radical proposition?
Plus, Peter Oborne and Dan Hodges debate whether Ed Miliband has been a good leader of the opposition with well-deserved enemies. Has he changed the rules of the political game with his stances on Syria, Palestine, Murdoch and big business? Or is he pushing his party away from the corridors of power with electorally unpopular ideological stances?
