We're back! It's a new year (OK, it's five months into a new year), and Nigel and Sarah have a lot to discuss - from the Conservative Party in the UK slipping to 4th place in the polls to the surprise defeat of opposition parties in Australia and Canada.
What does the triumph of Reform UK in the English local elections mean for the Conservative and Labour Parties? What is the "Trump effect"? And will Nigel manage to wrap up the podcast on time without having to do endless retakes? Tune in and find out.
Presented by Nigel Fletcher and Sarah Southern
Produced by the Centre for Opposition Studies
Theme Music by Tom Hector
