Inside Politics: who will win the UK general election?
Roula Khalaf, Editor of the FT, selects her favourite stories in this weekly newsletter.
Political Fix host Lucy Fisher was joined by Inside Politics’ author Stephen Bush, political editor George Parker and columnist Camilla Cavendish for a subscriber webinar on May 8 looking ahead to the UK’s general election.
The expert panel took readers’ questions days after the May 2 local and mayoral elections produced a grim set of results for the Conservatives that did nothing to dent expectations of a Labour victory after 14 years in opposition.
The panel discussed when an election might be held and whether Labour was really on course for a resounding victory or whether there was anything the exhausted and divided Tory party could do to avert that. They picked apart the differences — and similarities — between the main parties’ policy proposals and what their priorities would be in government, or in opposition.
