At last there is one certainty in politics - there must be a General Election within the next 12 months. While the options in time are narrowing, the pressures on the Party leaders are steadily increasing. Throughout the run-up period, Radio 4 will broadcast this occasional series, specially designed to help politically-minded listeners to keep up both with the issues as they develop, and with party strategy and tactics.
