The Daily T

New research out today shows that British people's trust in politics has hit an all-time low. So why don't we trust our politicians? Camilla and Kamal consider the reasons why, plus whether this dissatisfaction with politics might lead towards a change of voter system to proportional representation. Plus, with the Greens launching their manifesto, they ask why climate change is so low down on the political agenda and also pose the question - does it matter if our politicians are rich?
