The UK's Liberal Democrats are about to hold a twice-rescheduled leadership election. Acting co-leader and establishment candidate Ed Davey is being challenged by Layla Moran.
In this episode, Sarbjit and Matthew are joined by Lib Dem Federal Board member April Preston, a Moran backer whose parsnips Davey isn't buttering.
They explore the curious disparity between the polling for this race and the pricing in the UK betting markets (e.g. this Smarkets contract), which might sound familiar to U.S. presidential election watchers.
