Show Notes

Brexit, an independence referendum, and the rise of Boris Johnson – the past decade in British politics has been tumultuous and fascinating.

On this episode of inFocus with David Coletto, we cross the pond.

I’m joined by Keiran Pedley, Director of Politics at UK polling agency, Ipsos MORI.

Keiran is also the host and editor of the Polling Matters Podcast.

We are going to explore Vox Britannia – how public opinion has shifted over the past few years and helps to explain some historic events that will shape British politics for years to come.

This podcast was recorded in December 2020 so some of the poll results mentioned may have changed.

Keiran has been doing research and commentating on polls and politics in the UK for years and our conversation takes us from general elections to Brexit, to the Scottish independence referendum.
