The podcast questions -What does a hung parliament mean?

Hello, thank you for tuning in to my podcast. This episode we will be talking to the youth and how they think the 2017 General Election went and there opinions the leader of the parties and ask them what a hung parliament is.

 

Thanks for coming on my show Hamerdeep and Desiree.

Thanks for having us.

I'm going to be asking you some questions about what has gone on in the 2017 general election. And who are the winners and losers in your eyes and how young people like yourselves have got more involved in this election.

Do you know what a hung parliament is?

 

 

Well, A hung parliament is declared if no party wins an outright majority by securing more seats than all the other parties combined.

In the UK, a party must win 326 of the 650 seats to secure an absolute majority.

Since 1929 there have only been two UK General Elections that resulted in hung parliaments – in 1974 and 2010.

The General Election in 1992 saw exit polls predict a hung parliament but the Tories held onto a slim majority.

 

Do you think young people being more involved in the election changed the outcome of the election?

 

How are the winners and loser of the election in your eye?

 

As you know Theresa May did not get the  majority vote to become leader of the country so there will be another election soon, do you think this is a good thing or a bad thing?
