Polish governing party set for election victory

World Business Report

Available for over a year

The ruling Law and Justice party has clashed with the European Commission over migration and its attempts to gain more control over the judiciary. We ask the BBC's Adam Easton why the party is so popular with the electorate. Also in the programme, we speak to one Irish business owner about the potential costs of a hard Brexit. We also ask Professor Sarah Smith, chair of the Royal Economics Society women's committee, why it's important to get people from a range of backgrounds interested in the dismal science.
