Description

Why are by-elections called; what myths and misconceptions surround them; and how much do they shed light on the national political picture?

I was grateful to be joined by Marc Collinson for this episode - lecturer in contemporary politics and history at Bangor University - to tackle these questions and many more.

Hope you enjoy the discussion!
