Turning to the local elections: we hear from representatives from Labour, the Liberal Democrats, and the Greens, who are jostling for Tory votes in the leadup to the general election. Will Labour have to go into a coalition to get into government? Will tactical voting come into play? The Greens are growing exponentially; the Lib Dems are back from the ruins of Nick Clegg’s damaging time in coalition with the Tories. Does Labour have what it takes to secure a majority?This opens up the debate on whether we should have proportional representation, which would benefit the Greens and Lib Dems in particular, but would the gain in progressiveness be worth the risk of extremism? The panel discusses whether the electorate has become more or less progressive and remarks on the generational divide. Was Brexit a result of people for decades feeling their vote doesn’t count?Chris takes the conversation to the Conservative’s inflammatory populist political stance on immigration, which materialises into a discussion of each party’s position on Brexit and Britain’s relationship with Europe going forward.    Let us know your thoughts via our Twitter page!'I Hit The Nail Right On The Head' by Billy Bremner. © Fridens liljor/Micke Finell.Rock around the clock productions AB.www.rockaroundtheclock.co.ukCreated & produced by Podcast Partners: www.podcastpartners.comSign up to receive updates by email when a new episode drops at www.wrightonthenail.fmThis podcast is powered by New Thinking: www.newthinking.com Explore New Thinking podcasts via our website: www.newthinking.com/podcasts
