IrelandFrancis Fukuyama brings the longer view to SMH and Age
The political scientist joins a post-midterm week that also features Peter Hartcher's analysis and David Jones' administration.

Peter Hartcher supplied the week's most watched new upload, but Francis Fukuyama is giving The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age's election coverage a fresh direction: away from the immediate congressional arithmetic and towards the vulnerabilities of liberal democracy.
The new Fukuyama interview asks how America's political upheaval fits into a longer historical arc, whether autocratic countries inevitably become democratic, and how the threat of nuclear warfare changes that picture. It is drawing the strongest daily audience among the channel's currently active videos, despite arriving near the end of the week.
Hartcher's conversation with Samantha Selinger-Morris has reached roughly 75,000 views. Beyond Trump's reduced room to legislate, he considers the Democrats' own difficulties: managing moderate-progressive divisions and choosing future leaders. His answer to the episode's Trumpism question is broader than a congressional result, arguing that right-wing populism and associated policies have suffered substantial setbacks.
Across the week's fifteen uploads, domestic business news also found an audience. Two David Jones reports covered the department store's move into administration and the departure of luxury brands.
The channel added a thousand subscribers, although its current daily views are below their usual level. Its weekly audience was close to Washington Week PBS's; The Root had a particularly substantial week among nearby news channels. Here, the continuing draw is the post-election conversation, with Fukuyama extending it beyond Washington's next move.
