An emergency podcast looking at the recent controversy with the Commons Speaker
This emergency episode takes a closer look at the dramatic Parliamentary events of last week - controversy, politics, and the Speaker's job hanging in the balance.
A bonus episode explaining how we're scoring the Prime Ministers.
A detailed explanation of the scoring system we use on this podcast to assess Prime Ministers, and what's behind each of the categories of Prime & Premiership, Life & Legacy, Sin & Sincerity, Majority, Tenure, and all the individual Prestige Points.
How voting works in the British Parliament
This episode is all about voting, but not how we vote; it's about how members of Parliament vote when it’s time to decide whether to approve a law. So get ready for the high-octane, seat-of-your-pants thrill ride that is voting procedures. It is actually a little more silly and interest than you think. |
