[gentle music] In Grand Rapids, art isn't just found in galleries, it's our way of life. You can find it in every riverside stroll, well-balanced pour, and evening encore, where music echoes over the water and the city sculptures reach for the sky, inviting you to find a rhythm all your own, season after season in Pure Michigan.

Hello, and welcome to another episode of Page 94. My name's Andrew Hunter Murray, and I'm here in the Eye Studio with Helen Lewis, Adam McQueen, and Ian Hislop. If you're watching this, you may have already voted in the local elections. You might even know the results. But one really interesting thing about the whole campaign is that so much of it has focused on what we would think of previously as the edges of British politics, uh, on right and left, Reform and the Greens. Uh, it seems increasingly [laughs] quite hard for the Conservatives and Labour, traditionally quite big players here- You've missed out the Lib Dems again. I'm sorry. [laughs] I'm sorry.

Ian Hislop· Panelist1:05

Bored, which is the theme of the campaign.

Andrew Hunter Murray· Host1:07

Yeah.

Ian Hislop· Panelist1:07

[laughs] Literally, the Lib Dems are complaining, "Our polls, they were consistent. No one even mentioned us."

Andrew Hunter Murray· Host1:14

Yeah.

Helen Lewis· Panelist1:14

Mm.

Andrew Hunter Murray· Host1:14

It's very unfair. I mean, I- And so I just thought I'd mention them. [laughs] Is, is that a fair summary, Helen? Or is it- I think that the Greens and Zac Polanski have taken up a vast majority of the oxygen in these campaigns, for a very good reason.

Helen Lewis· Panelist1:25

A lot of the seats that are being defended are Labour seats that are kind of Green facing.
