Kicking off the Calling it Out show’s 3-part Sean and Ben give a beginner’s crash course on politics – covering left and right wing, the EBRC, and Singapore’s political landscape.

Referring to the recent report by the Electoral Boundaries Review Committee, Ben says, “These guys basically do modern art, they cut up the Singapore map, and I swear it looks like Picasso.”

On a serious note, Sean said, “…It freaks me out because gerrymandering has a huge part to play in an incumbent keeping their political power.”
