It always seems to be election season in America, and one reason is the system of primary elections, in which each party picks its candidate before the general election. But why do primaries exist, and are they a good idea? In this episode Andy explores the history of primaries and what impact they have on American politics today.
Is there a particular question you want answered about America? Drop me a line below and I'll address it in a future episode.
