00:00 I don't really know. I mean, it has to be done sometime. Probably from my point of view,
00:07 being able to have a government in there with some surety about the future for the next
00:13 few years is better than just a few months of kind of just going along slowly, you know,
00:19 and not no one making decisions because they know an election is coming up. So let's get
00:22 out of the way is good for me. But, you know, who knows why they called it now?
00:28 I think it's quite clear to see that things in a lot of areas are just not working to
00:34 what the public are looking for. I think people are keen for change. I think people are keen
00:39 to see a sustainable and path to where we want to be as a nation.
00:48 For me in Bristol, I see the south of Bristol has been kind of isolated within Bristol.
00:54 It's a deprived area and it would be nice to see some levelling up within Bristol.
