Talking to Politicians – Part 2: Steven Agnew, Green Party

Tuesday, May 5th, 2009 | Personal | Comments

First chat done and dusted. I should make it clear that these are most definitely not “political interviews” because I am, frankly, clueless. Instead, think of them as how the politicians would try to convince said clueless person they are worth voting for.

Many thanks to Steven Agnew for taking over an hour out of May Day to talk with me, it is much appreciated.
