When the election was called on 22nd May, Compass staff and activists were taken by surprise. But fortunately, we were ready.

Within days, we had planned our six week campaign and launched into action. So much has happened since then. Compass has endorsed over 30 candidates who back PR, Farage has announced he is standing as a candidate and there’s been debates, gaffes and a hefty surplus of polls.

In this episode of It’s Bloody Complicated, we unpacked what’s happened so far, Compass’ prospects for the election and what it all means for the medium and long-term. 

Joining our Director, Neal Lawson, we were joined by a fantastic guest: 

• Aditya Chakrabortty, a journalist and the Guardian’s senior economics commentator who recently wrote about our broken political system
