“The 1984 snap election is what turned 8-year-old me on to politics for the first time. My parents were teachers at the local school that doubled as the rural community’s polling station, and they both worked as election officials on that day. I can still remember being left home under the supervision of my older sister, and the sense of excitement and change as we watched events unfold on the TV that night. Thank you Toby for your brilliant storytelling that skilfully fills in the detail of the characters and the economic and political situation that led up to the snap election, which at that age I was too young to be attuned to. Can’t wait for episode 2!! Love your mahi!”
