4 A-level politics students, a few microphones, and just enough knowledge to be dangerous. Join us as we attempt to make sense of current affairs, question politicians (from a safe distance), and occasionally spiral over how any of this actually works. It’s politics, but it’s explained with confusion, questionable humour, and the perspective of people who are technically revising it.Future Affairs Political Science Politics & Government

Where does tragedy end and political narrative begin?
