Episode notes

Jennifer Lees-Marshment has studied political marketing and management since the rise of Tony Blair.

In this episode, she tells us how the main parties are approaching the phony war before the election date is set.

She also describes concerns that politicians are simply not trained to actually do their job when in power.
