Democracy is widely believed to be in crisis, and whilst misinformation and duplicitous behavior from politicians and the media have contributed much of the malaise we find ourselves in, it’s also hard to dispute the involvement of nefarious actors in our elections. The ability to protect the electoral process from outside influence is therefore crucial to the health of our democracy, and new research from MIT adds some thoughts on how this can be achieved.

Earlier this year I looked at some fascinating new research exploring the impact the diversity of university students had on the happiness of a nation. It found that countries that had more working class students appear to be happier than those with fewer.
