Also this week: POLITICO's Florian Eder looks ahead to the German election.</p> <p>Smashing political barriers: Cowan-Brown explains how political software is dramatically lowering the money and time it takes to launch movements and campaigns.</p> <p>Analog Germany: But the company is not working on the German election: because political parties wanted all the data stored in Germany. We discuss whether that attitude is likely to change.</p> <p>About that election: POLITICO managing editor Florian Eder previews Sunday's parliamentary vote — and discusses who Brussels would like to see in the next government.</p> <p>Boris Johnson's Brexit vision — fact or fantasy? Our Brussels brains trust debates what Britain's foreign secretary is up to with his recent Brexit opus and fact-checks some of his statements.</p> <p>The court with optional judgments: The brains trust also talks about why the European Court of Human Rights has issued 10,000 judgments that have not been implemented by its member countries.</p> <p>Dear POLITICO discusses &quot;Brussels or Bust&quot;: We hear from a listener who works at a pan-EU organization, and whose CEO has decided they don't need to live in Brussels.
