  • 2024 election special part 2

    This episodes discusses what the polls are saying, but also why they can be different and explains some of the pitfalls in assessing the mood of the country accurately. I also explain what we mean by MRP-poll. I explain why the evidence points to a better votes to seats outcome to Labour than at previous elections and explain briefly what could happen in the increasingly unlikely event of a hung parliament, and add why that [again] favours Labour.

    The results of the 1950 election are counted. Initially it looks like Labour is going to be back with a decent majority, but then on the Friday things start to go very wrong.
