Hello and welcome to the Red Box Politics Podcast in The Times I'm Matt Chorley.

What happens when you get a hundred voters in one room and ask them about the election.

That's exactly what the Times did for its project election in one room with a hundred

voters from swing seats across the country.

Mealt about everything from what they think of politicians and the promises they're making and what they think they might do on polling day.

All of that coming up, but this is our last Friday round up.

We wouldn't want to, if you handed it to us on a silver platter. We want nothing to do with it.

I have previously said and I'm happy to say again was wrong and I'm sorry about that and it was one of the things that we did get wrong.

Do you not take President Trump seriously?

That's complete nonsense.

I don't know where that's comfortable.

Obviously I'm very sorry for everything that's happened but I want to make this clear. I am dealing with it.

Happy Christmas election Britain.

We're nearly there Esther. It's less than a week to go now.

It's quite exciting really to think

there ended in time. Oh we see yes yeah the election campaign is not exciting the

prospect of it all being over is now before we get into the nitty gritty why do you think that is why is it that because it's become a very

cliche and it's obviously a bit annoying for people to hear people like us whose job it is to be interested and excited about

politics to be saying oh it's so boring, you know, another election.

It just hasn't really taken off, has it?

I think the problem is that of Lake we've had so many seismic events or supposedly seismic

that have been intended to shift things one way or the other
