The Home of Common Sense. This is Tor.

We have got some political expertise from Alex Phillips, who was in just the other day on election day, the day that it was announced because Julie Hartlebrook wasn't here.

Here she is not predicting an election.

You've got about 30 seconds to tell me what is.

There's a lot to get through. Obviously, give it around. He's the prime ticket to call in election. He said, well, you know, you've got about 30 seconds to tell me what you're going to be covering. There's a lot to get through.

Obviously, give it around.

He's the prime intervie going to call in election.

He said, well, you know, I told you it's second half of next year, but he could still call it and it would be the second half of next year,

or this year rather.

I think after July the 4th.

Yeah. He's going to wait to the autumn as well. Well, it looks as if there'll be an election on the 4th of July.

Yeah, that would have been Peter Cardwell announcing that there was in fact an election just a few hours later.

Alex Phillips will be here today, of course, at 10 o'clock.

In for Julie Hartley Brewett.

She's here every Friday.

It's a thing of great beauty.

And I apologise,

Alex, if you're watching, to have done that to you, but it wasn't my fault. It was too good not to do.

And of course, this is one of the things an awful lot of people are asking about.

If we do elect, or if the country, shall we say, does elect a Labour government,

what sort of government will it be? Let's talk to Sir John Curtis, Professor of Politics

at the University of Strathclyde. Sir John, a very good morning to you. Welcome.
