Summary

Stevie and Tessa are joined by political journalist Marie Le Conte who (jargon free) explains what an election is, what the Labour and Tory manifestos actually say and what in the good lord’s name tactical voting really means. We have attempted to be non-biased but apologies if some, shall we say, VIBES leak out.
