From singing rabbit to falling panda: does that fit with the seriousness of politics? † Inland

So Conner Rousseau (Forward) is Rabbit. And that immediately raises the question: does that fit with the seriousness of politics, participating in The Masked Singer? “Politicians in entertainment programs without a political message: I am not in favor of that,” says political scientist Carl Devos. But at the same time: a well-chosen appearance on TV can also have political benefits. “Rousseau is targeting the young electorate. After this stunt he will undoubtedly get a bunch of young followers on Instagram. One day they too will be old enough to vote, huh.”
