The People's Politician

After a shocking year for relations between people and politicians, two retiring MPs, Ann Widdecombe and Richard Caborn, are challenged to heal the rift between them and us. Could giving us more of a say over our MPs - using the internet, for example - help bring back any of the 17 million who didn't vote at the last election? Michael Howard is among six other politicians standing down at the election who talk candidly about the size of MPs' egos and other aspects of life in the Westminster bubble. Plus presenter Tim Samuels reveals the startling findings of a confidential survey of MPs about the real state they are in.
