Seven young Americans representing the next generation of political “insiders” take time out from their study tour of Australia to offer their views on the potential outcomes of the U.S. mid-term elections in 2014.
In a wide-ranging discussion, they will cover the state of the political parties, the prospects and possibilities facing the parties, the issues, and public opinions of the state of politics in the United States.
