Exeter research highlights importance of the election manifesto
With the General Election upon us, a University of Exeter study has analysed the growing length of party manifestos, highlighting their significance.

Local elections who?
I’d like to start this with a confession – I didn’t vote in the recent local elections. This was not a choice born out of ignorance, but certainly came from some place of apathy. I had fully intended on voting. It was scheduled in for the evening, right after my busy day of hopping between […]

This was my first telephone interview with Exeposé and I was therefore hoping that Mr. Hawkins would not pick up on my nerves as I awaited his call. Eventually […]
