Understand the UK Election is a simple 10-part guide to everything that is going on in the election, with Adam Fleming.

This episode was hosted Adam Fleming, from Newscast and AntiSocial, with Professor Jane Green, Director of the Nuffield Politics Research Centre at Oxford University, co-director of the British Election Study and President of the British Polling Council.
