Polling Matters - Ep. 35 Oldham, Syria, Polling and Benn

This week’s podcast reacts to a momentous week in British politics as parliament votes to approve airstrikes in Syria and Labour convincingly holds Oldham West and Royton in Thursday’s by-election. What role has polling played? How strong is Jeremy Corbyn after a tough week and should public opinion really influence complex foreign policy decisions? Finally, how likely is it that Hilary Benn could replace Jeremy Corbyn as Labour leader in the future?

 

Keiran discusses these issues with Rob Vance @robvance and former Labour Party Head of Press and Broadcasting Peter Morton @pjmmor.
