In today’s episode, I am going to talk about a very interesting political topic: gerrymandering.

Gerrymandering is when politicians create voting districts in a way that gives one political party an advantage over the others.

This topic is incredibly relevant right now, and constantly in the news in the USA. This year, Texas and some other US states have decided to redraw their congressional maps.

This is, of course, causing a lot of political tension and debate across the country.

In this episode, I will explain what gerrymandering is, why it happens, whether it should be allowed, and then I will also look at some other unusual English political words and phrases!
