Still from Pasolini’s ‘Salo’ (1976)
Jamie Mackay: After five years of brutal austerity the Conservatives are back in power in Britain, this time with a majority government. What is last month’s UK election result symptomatic of?
Federico Campagna: The UK vote was quite surprising to me at first, at least from the approach of political rationality. You can ask yourself: what could the Tories have done to fuck people off more than they actually did? They took away everything they could, and not only the present: they remortgaged the future of a lot of people as well. Nonetheless, lots of those same people still voted for them.
