About this listen
In this episode, Dr. Erin Ferguson discusses the rule of law, the principle that everyone, including governments, is equal before the law. Dr. Ferguson examines democratic backsliding in countries like Hungary and the US, where judicial independence and legal norms face growing threats.
We explore the differences between UK parliamentary supremacy and US judicial review, and discuss how disinformation undermines democratic institutions. Dr. Ferguson also highlights Scotland's access to justice crisis, where legal aid cuts mean vulnerable people struggle to find representation.
This episode offers a valuable perspective on why the rule of law matters to everyone and the ongoing work needed to protect this cornerstone of democratic society.
