12. Sir John Curtice

In this episode of The Last Line, James talks to political scientist and Professor at the University of Strathclyde, Sir John Curtice. Sir John is a Senior Research Fellow at The National Centre of Social Research and is particularly interested in electoral behaviour and researching political and social attitudes. He serves as President of the British Polling Council, vice-chair of the Economic and Social Data's Advisory Committee and is a member of the editorial board of the Journal of Elections, the Executive Committee of the British Politics Section of the American Political Science Association, and the Policy Advisory Committee of the Institute for Public Policy Research. Sir John is also regularly involved in the BBC's election coverage for which he has picked up a strong following on social media. During my conversation with Sir John we discussed the recent Conservative Leader's Debate on television as well as Brexit and the attitudes of the voting public towards it.
