The Rest Is Politics: Leading
187. Yanis Varoufakis: How The 2008 Crisis Revived Far-Right Populism

I think also he is... I wouldn't necessarily agree with everything he says, certainly not about the Labour government in the UK, of which I was such a proud part.

The Rest Is Politics: Leading
187. Yanis Varoufakis: How The 2008 Crisis Revived Far-Right Populism

But I think he's somebody who does have this capacity to explain really...

The Rest Is Politics: Leading
187. Yanis Varoufakis: How The 2008 Crisis Revived Far-Right Populism

quite complicated stuff in a simple way.

The Rest Is Politics: Leading
187. Yanis Varoufakis: How The 2008 Crisis Revived Far-Right Populism

And I love the fact that he said game theory is your first question, pretty much.

The Rest Is Politics: Leading
187. Yanis Varoufakis: How The 2008 Crisis Revived Far-Right Populism

One of the first serious questions we did was, you know, how do you use game theory in political and real life?

The Rest Is Politics: Leading
187. Yanis Varoufakis: How The 2008 Crisis Revived Far-Right Populism

He basically did, do not touch it with a barge pole.

The Rest Is Politics: Leading
187. Yanis Varoufakis: How The 2008 Crisis Revived Far-Right Populism

Well, it was interesting how he said that he clearly feels a lot of people that he knew who went into politics

The Rest Is Politics: Leading
187. Yanis Varoufakis: How The 2008 Crisis Revived Far-Right Populism

lost their bearings, lost their moral compass.

The Rest Is Politics: Leading
187. Yanis Varoufakis: How The 2008 Crisis Revived Far-Right Populism

I think because he was there for such a short time, it was a few months that he was a high-profile politician.

The Rest Is Politics: Leading
187. Yanis Varoufakis: How The 2008 Crisis Revived Far-Right Populism

I mean, he's still in politics, but the party he created, I think they got eight MPs, nine MPs first time around, and then they got none.

The Rest Is Politics: Leading
187. Yanis Varoufakis: How The 2008 Crisis Revived Far-Right Populism

I think he's an outsider.

The Rest Is Politics: Leading
187. Yanis Varoufakis: How The 2008 Crisis Revived Far-Right Populism

I think he's better as an outsider.

The Rest Is Politics: Leading
187. Yanis Varoufakis: How The 2008 Crisis Revived Far-Right Populism

But he's a very, very he's a charismatic guy and he's a clever guy and he's a clear communicator.

The Rest Is Politics: Leading
187. Yanis Varoufakis: How The 2008 Crisis Revived Far-Right Populism

But, yeah, I think he's I think he's more comfortable being outside than inside politics.

The Rest Is Politics: Leading
187. Yanis Varoufakis: How The 2008 Crisis Revived Far-Right Populism

A bit like yourself, Rory.

The Rest Is Politics: Leading
187. Yanis Varoufakis: How The 2008 Crisis Revived Far-Right Populism

And you always will be.

The Rest Is Politics: Leading
187. Yanis Varoufakis: How The 2008 Crisis Revived Far-Right Populism

You always will be.

The Rest Is Politics: Leading
187. Yanis Varoufakis: How The 2008 Crisis Revived Far-Right Populism

And I will always be older than him forever.

The Rest Is Politics: Leading
187. Yanis Varoufakis: How The 2008 Crisis Revived Far-Right Populism

Exactly.

The Rest Is Politics: Leading
187. Yanis Varoufakis: How The 2008 Crisis Revived Far-Right Populism

Thank you.
