On 31 January 2017, Ipsos held a major debate where we dissected the momentous political events of 2016 and looked forward to key elections in 2017. Our high profile pollsters from around the world examined political discontent and uncertainty, the key forces that are driving it and where in the world it is most prevalent and why. The panel included experts on the political context and public opinion in Britain, France, Italy, the US, Canada and South Africa, providing a wide range of perspectives on the key political challenges of our time.

2020 (and little sign of a Labour populist
surge either….)

remain more shopkeepers
than revolutionaries…
