Every five years, we put a cross on a piece of paper – and put it in a ballot box.
It's a democratic right. A civic duty. An opportunity to have a say on what matters to us in our communities.

And there's a lot at stake – from the rise of the far right and soaring inflation to ongoing geopolitical conflicts and the climate emergency.

For this episode, we're joined by Rt Hon Caroline Flint, former MP and Government Minister for the Labour party, and Ian Stewart, Chief Economist at Deloitte, as we ask: Do elections change anything?
