Description: Subscribe to Chopper's Politics for free to make sure you never miss an episode: playpodca.st/chopper NB: This podcast was recorded and released before all votes had been counted. In this emergency local elections special, Christopher Hope is joined by pollster Martin Baxter from Electoral Calculus and the Telegraph's Political Editor Ben Riley-Smith to chew the fat as the results keep coming in. What impact would these results have if they were mirrored in a general election, have they helped or hindered party leaders, and should politicos keep a keen eye on another potential C-word (whisper it listeners, coalition). Plus MP for Yeovil Marcus Fysh on losing local councils to the Lib Dems, and whether he has faith in the Prime Minister going forward.
