CloseHow will the policies of the three main political parties impact on the work of charities and the third sector after the general election? Interviews with Angela Smith, Nick Hurd and Jenny Willott.
About the KnowHow election interviews
Our election interviews coincided with the official announcement of the date for the 2010 general election. KnowHow spoke with the third sector ministers from each of the three main parties to see how their policies would impact on the work of non profit organisations and charities.
We asked the same questions to each MP - questions we had received from our peers in the sector, which sum up many of the thoughts we all have about the impact of changes to government.
Have your say
After you've listened to each of the ministers, we'd like to know what you make of what you've heard. Is there anything that worries or surprises you?
