You Ask Us: if you’re a centrist politician, how do you choose one party over another?

Rory Stewart, Tony Blair, Alastair Campbell: a listener writes in to ask why centrist politicians align themselves with one party over another?

Rachel Cunliffe, Freddie Hayward, and Zoë Grünewald answer listener questions.
