Polling Matters: END OF YEAR SPECIAL Pt 1. Looking back at 2015 (Polling disasters, Scotland and a ’new’ Labour Party)

In part one of a two-part Christmas special Keiran is joined by Matt Singh and Rob Vance to look back at the year that was 2015 and discuss what Polling Matters has learned along the way. Key areas discussed include:

1) Where the polls went wrong and the impact polling had on the General Election.

2) Why Keiran thinks developments in Scotland are the big story of the year 

3) Why do governments change so infrequently in British politics?

4) The rise of Jeremy Corbyn and why he enters the new year in a very strong position

In Part 2 (out next week) Keiran, Matt and Rob look forward to 2016, the race for the White House, E.U. Referendum and things to look out for.
