Manage episode 424728199 series 3581000
Do political "tribes" still matter, or do voters pick-and-mix their political preferences?
Armando and Ailbhe Rea are joined by the legendary polling expert, John Curtice, and former Labour defector Shaun Woodward, to explore the importance of demographics in understanding voting intention and whether identity politics really does sway voters.
Guests

Shaun Woodward is a former Labour minister who defected to the Conservatives in 1999. He now chairs the Human Dignity Trust, an international LGBT charity.
