The United Kingdom is heading to the polls for the first time since its departure from the European Union. If forecasts are right, this election will be nothing short of an electoral disaster for the ruling Conservative party, which has given the country three prime ministers since 2019. How did the Tories end up in this situation? Did Rishi Sunak make a mistake by calling an early election? What issues are being discussed in the campaign? And what challenges will a Labour government face if they win the election? In this episode, Raul Gomez, co-editor of the ⁠Political Data Yearbook⁠, discusses the upcoming UK general election with Nicholas Allen (Royal Holloway, University of London) and Alia Middleton (University of
Surrey). This podcast was recorded on 17 June 2024.
