In Depth and Informative

Tim Smith does an excellent job of breaking down each election campaign and looking at the issues at the time of the elections and putting them into context. British General Elections can often be huge times of change in the countries recent history but often the context of the elections and the campaigns and the issues of the day are lost to time. Tim Smith really does a good job of looking at all that. Long may he continue.
