Join us for the New Statesman on-tour election special! As the polling day approaches, our team of politics writers regale Stephen Bush with news of their travels around the country. From Dover to Derby North, and from St Ives to Sheffield Hallam, via Birmingham, Belfast and Vauxhall – listen in for the interviews and insights near you.
Quotes of the Week:
Anoosh Chakelian on Nick Clegg in Sheffield Hallam: “Alot of people I spoke to were saying, ‘Well, he went into coalition and he broke some promises, but he’s been punished enough.'”
Caroline Crampton on Dover: “I found a lot of people who are not voting at all, or are voting for UKIP, or have voted for UKIP and are now going to vote Conservative.”
Jonn Elledge on monkeying around in Hartlepool: “My understanding is that [the monkey mascot] never expected to win. I think he ran as a novelty candidate and then found himself mayor and ran Hartlepool for ten years.”
