Episode description
On this episode, we find out what voters are really thinking and why the UK’s politicians are so unpopular. I’m joined by Holly Day of Ipsos MORI, the polling agency best known for its monthly concerns index.
We discuss how education has replaced social class as an identifier of voting behaviour, Holly explains how Sir Keir Starmer has gone from plus 34 to minus 34 points in the polls and how the May elections might pan out for the Labour Party.
This episode is most suited for the political geeks amongst us. So, if you are one of those - secret or not - I hope you enjoy the episode and do please make sure to leave a review.
Presented, hosted and edited by Ian Silvera, Editor of Tech, Power & Media.
