British General Elections podcast

Mid term elections in the UK - I discuss why they are important and what to expect - part I

The public are mostly concerned with the King's Health. The situation in Persia remains difficult, the stock market rallies on hopes the Conservatives are going to win

Attlee calls an early election as George VI has a lung removed.

I go through the final polls, timings for the exit poll and counts, what is the exit poll etc and a word on Scotland and Wales

The electorate still not really looking at Labour's policies, I discuss the latest polling data and what it means, and a few words on the ground campaign

 I do a quick state of the race update, explain why the Conservatives and Lib Dems may do better than Reform on a similar or lower vote share and then look at candidate effects including so called incumbency advantage.
