| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to rock and roll politics, the weekly podcast with me, Steve Richards. |
| 0:28.1 | Thank you very much indeed for tuning in, as ever. |
| 0:31.5 | Great to have you all with me, with us all together, whatever you're doing while you're listening. |
| 0:38.8 | If it's okay with you, I'm going to reflect a bit on the Cameron lobbying story with its wider implications and pose a |
| 0:46.3 | question which I think is at the heart of explaining the Cameron affair, which is, is England, |
| 0:53.6 | at least, becoming closer to a one-party state? |
| 0:58.0 | Conservatives elected four times in succession after 1979 and four times in |
| 1:05.0 | succession after 2010 and currently favourites to win a fifth successive election. I think that explains the Cameron |
| 1:13.2 | affair. But there is a twist, which I'm going to reflect on, a very big difference between now |
| 1:21.5 | and the four successive conservative wins after 1979. So that's what I'll be doing. If that's okay, we come to some |

| 1:56.8 | wednesday may the 12th i think it's a Wednesday, it's definitely May the 12th, |
| 2:03.2 | is going to be the last live stream show from my boudoir, from a room in my house. |
| 2:11.2 | So for those of you who haven't experienced this communal coming together, |
| 2:20.0 | you've got to get a ticket and they're on sale now at King's Place and they don't break the bank. So hopefully see you all for that historic event |
| 2:26.2 | because after that I hope to be out live, although they also will be streamed because it's a |
| 2:34.1 | global audience these days |
| 2:35.4 | and some of you won't be able to fly in to watch live at King's Place or wherever |
| 2:40.2 | only because of the COVID restrictions otherwise I know you would have all flown from Australia |
| 2:45.9 | and New York and all the places where people listen or tune in for the streaming live from my boudoir so that's |
