Dividing Lines: Understanding British Voters
With the National Centre for Social Research and Professor Sir John Curtice
Birkbeck College, Room 206, Birkbeck Central and Online 10.00am-11.30am.
The National Centre for Social Research (NatCen) will launch a set of six distinct profiles of British voters ahead of the forthcoming UK General Election. These insights are based on decades of research from the annual British Social Attitudes (BSA) survey – the longest-running measure of public opinion in Britain.
Based on who voters are and where they live, this series of voter profiles showcases attitudes on relevant topics and for and against positions on key policy areas. They show that politics these days is multidimensional, not simply 'left' and 'right'.
This work is being used to inform the BBC’s Undercover Voters project, and will help anyone interested in politics to better understand how British voters think and feel about social and political issues that matter.
The event will feature Lovisa Moller, NatCen’s Director of Analysis, and Professor Sir John Curtice, NatCen’s Senior Research Fellow, in conversation with Francis Elliot, editor of The House magazine. Please join us for a discussion of who these voters are, what motivates them and their attitudes on key policy positions.
