Brent is pretty much a one party borough, with Labour having hold of it for the last 46 years! Labour control almost 90% of this London borough, which means it doesn’t have any real opposition and no one to hold it to account. I talk to Martin Francis and George Currie who represent the two Parties who can’t win Brent, and we discuss the effects of a one party state and why it's bad for democracy.
