Episode Notes

The Prime Ministerial Election has begun. A note for non-Brits: this is not how we vote in the UK. We don't really have any direct say in who the Prime Minister is, we vote for Members of Parliament in our constituencies (a division of the country) who belong to political parties (or can stand as independents). The party with the majority of seats (MPs) becomes the party that forms a government, and their leader becomes the Prime Minister.

It gets more complicated than that when no party has an overall majority (as has happened in the 2010 election) and then coalitions of parties have to be formed.
