Last question for the night - who is your favourite political hero? Steve Race from #Labour starts with Erney Bevan - who "set up NATO" and worked to "make sure Britain engaged with the world in a sustainable way."

Andrew Bell for #Green - "In Exeter, the only contender to Labour are the Greens." He adds it would be "great" if there would be a green representative in parliament who could stand up for the issues - adding the "greater influence" the party can bring with more MPs.
