Our Ask The Expert series, in association with the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC), brings academic research on public policy into the heart of Westminster.
Following the 2017 General Election on June 8th, we held a “post-election special” seminar with support from Edelman. Our guest of honour was political commentator and President of the British Polling Council, Professor John Curtice. In this talk, Professor Curtice discussed what happened in the 2017 election and why.
