"They're useless" ... Why are politicians viewed so negatively?

In this episode Professor Stephen Coleman hears from people in the street talking about what they think of their political representatives. Why is it that most (but not all) people’s first response to the sound of politicians’ voices is negative? He's also joined by James Johnson, who worked for former Prime Minister Theresa May, and who is now a leading pollster in the UK and U.S.

*Please note this episode has the odd use of bad language.
