In this special UK national election episode we are joined by Marc Stears from UCL Policy Lab and Martha MacKenzie from Civic Power to talk about the 2025 national election from the perspective of participatory and everyday politics. Civic Power Fund and the UCL Policy Lab are sponsors of this podcast, and this episode was conducted in London in the middle of the election campaign. It explores the context of electoral politics, how the election is creating a space for people’s involvement in politics and what all of this means for people after the election. ChangeMakers 2024 is supported by the Civic Power Fund and work with the UCL Policy Lab. This year they are supporting ChangeMakers to bring together a collection of Chats filled with extraordinary ideas and everyday experience to understand how we can change the world, www.ucl.ac.uk/policy-lab/ucl-policy-lab and www.civicpower.org.uk/.
