We are here at the @britishacademy.bsky.social to celebrate the 60th Anniversary of the British Election Study, with a presentation from Professor Ed Fieldhouse and discussion from @paulbrand.bsky.social Can't be here? Don't worry, we will publish our event on YouTube later!

To begin, Professor Fieldhouse is giving us an overview of the history and the British Election Study, and the contribution that it has made to understanding British politics

Professor Fieldhouse is now discussing what the British Election Study can tell us about the latest UK General Election. The main story is that we have high volatility between elections, but people tend to switch within 'party families'
