As the General Election approaches, Birkbeck Centre for British Political Life examines how elections are won and lost. This seminar series asks not just who will step into Downing Street but why and how will they make it there. What tactics and strategies drive the leaders and parties, amid more volatile electorates and different election battles, in different parts of the UK? And, after Brexit, covid and unending political turbulence, will 2024 be a ‘watershed year’ and a turning point in British politics?
