Hello, this is the rebooted election cast,
which of course is where newscast actually began several general elections ago, but we 're resurrecting the brand.
I sound like a management consultant, don't I?
Because there's a huge set of elections happening in Scotland, Wales, and many areas of England on the 7th.
And so this is a really good opportunity for us to dig into politics as it plays out in different parts of the UK
and interacts with national politics too.
So the outcome of these elections and the issues that are brought up by them and the answers and solutions that people
come up with will have a relevance to everyone in the UK.
Also, as Chris Mason always says, it's politics for real.
Your votes politicians asking for your votes making commitments that are happening in the real world as opposed to the sometimes
theoretical world of Westminster and if we 're doing election cast that means we 've got an excuse to bring
back newscast's most popular ever election related gimmick it 's the remoter voter where you tell us
why you need a postal vote because you 're not able to vote in person on May the 7th some people have already got in touch
Hey, Adam and everyone at Newscast.
It's Dan here from Walthamstow.
I will be a remote voter this year because I will be at Eurovision directing six countries.
So I'll be sending my love from Vienna thinking about who is going to get in on the 7th of May.
Happy voting.
So jealous.
I'm a big Eurovision fan.
