Today, we bring you a significant episode. In light of the general election next week, we wanted to make the political world more accessible to our listeners, especially those who may feel disillusioned with it all. This is by no means a political debate and we remain very much objective throughout - we simply want to get people thinking. In the first half, we discuss the policies of the main political parties', which aims to cut through the noise. We also talk about why we all need to stop "headline grabbing" and the importance of voting in our democracy. After some short but sweet Pointless Facts, we touch on the issue of the NHS in an interactive manner. We also delve into tactical voting and what it entails. Then, for the final half an hour, we critique our democracy, examining the issues that are inherent in our current voting system. We way up the positives and negatives of Proportional Representation and compare it to F-P-T-P. Stay to the end to hear our articles of the day and read more on our Twitter: TNS_Podcasts.
Make sure you all check out "Vote for Policies" on their website to stay as informed. We wanted this episode to be as engaging as possible and we would love your feedback.
We urge everyone to go and vote next Thursday!
