This podcast series is about British politics - and one thing in particular: answering the question.

It’s something politicians are often accused of not doing – and I think this is can be just as much the fault of the question being too short or simplistic. So I’ve decided to try asking some better questions, in the hope I can get better answers.

I won’t be asking any politicians yet, because the “health warning” on this podcast is that I am trying to become one and I don’t want to learn any bad habits.

Instead, I’m going to ask people I know, and then hopefully people they know, to share some real practical answers to some of the questions we face as a society. I’m particularly interested in how these ideas connect to people beliefs and values because I think if we all able to vote for what we really believe then perhaps we’d end up with something quite different at the top.
