Ep. 4.0(d): Gully on the UK Snap Election (Pt2of3)

Ep. 4.0(c): Gully on the UK Snap Election (Pt1of3)

Our host Czar Nick Tweed talks with Distinguished Vice Czar for the Celtic Isles Gully Foyle about the upcoming UK snap election on June 8. As the UK deals with the fall out from their referendum on leaving the European Union, Theresa May appears to be running a secretive and entitled campaign with as little interaction with the public as possible. Despite this, she is the heavy favorite to win an increased majority and plunge the nation into an unplanned economy where the main focus of the government will be protecting the expectations of property owners.
