Listen on

Episode notes

Raf Behr talks to Professor of Political Sociology Paul Surridge about whether voter volatility is increasing and, if so, what this means for parties trying to assemble a winning electoral coalition.

Has something fundamentally altered in the way voting behaviour and broader social identity are linked?

Have culture and values have become more significant determinants of voting behaviour than the economy?

Are 'leave' and 'remain' still in any way useful as categories?
