What's the best way of doing this?

Reading The Economist etc, but anything else?

What university is asking for an interview? It's fairly rare for Politics isn't it?

I'm not too sure how I would prepare myself but my guess would be to clue yourself up on all current affairs. Read differing viewpoints and perhaps try and find an academic perspective on them as opposed to simply reading mainstream media reports. Make sure that you're thoroughly read on all subjects mentioned in your PS and perhaps think of viewpoints of your own that can be discussed with the tutor. If you're genuinely interested in Politics and can articulate your points well, I imagine that will come through.
