Summary

We talk to Stephen Byrne, host of Whats Am Politics about events in the United Kingdom with some contrasts to politics in the United States. In the UK currently, the government is very unpopular but there's nothing they or anyone else can do about it for at least six months, and probably a year. Meanwhile, a man labelled 'Mr. Boring' might become the country's leader. And a major third party in Parliament, the Scottish National Party, may be decimated in the next election due to intra party changes. Complex, yet interesting - tune in.
