Rafael Behr talks to Paula Surridge Professor of Political Sociology about the fragmentation of support for the two big parties since Brexit, what's causing it and what it means for parties trying to maintain their voter coalitions.


Questions also covered:

  1. What drives support for Reform UK, and how vulnerable is their voter base?
  2. Are the Liberal Democrats benefiting from tactical voting, and can they sustain their recent gains?
  3. Why the Conservative Party faces so many difficulties in defining its identity?
  4. How are changing media consumption habits and voter expectations reshaping political engagement?

The discussion also touches on the impact of non-voters and the potential for electoral reform to become a more prominent issue.
