  • Making Sense Of A Historic British Election

    Making Sense Of A Historic British Election
    Jul 4 2024
    Happy Fourth of July! To celebrate our independence from Great Britain, the 538 Politics podcast is actually turning its attention to the United Kingdom's upcoming election. The U.K. is holding its first national election in four and a half years on July 4 and the polling suggests the Labour Party will make historic gains, booting Conservatives from power for the first time in 14 years. To get a sense of the forces behind the dramatic shift since 2019, two longtime friends of the podcast weigh in. Helen Thompson is a professor of political economy at Cambridge University and host of the "These Times" podcast. David Runciman is a professor of politics at Cambridge and host of the podcast "Past Present Future." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Best current events podcast in production.

This show is easily the most valuable podcast I have ever listened to. Fivethirtyeight offers up sophisticated data analysis, paired with politically savy commentation. It is neither condescending nor pretentious. Objective reality itself bends to a liberal point of view but Fivethirtyeight leaves any subjective partisan beliefs outside of it's recording studio.

Dispassionate Analysis

538 consistently reviews the data with an eye to predicting what will be the correct outcome, instead of what will please the audience. Look at the models compared to the outcome: it's superb.
As for the podcast itself, Galen is a capable host while Nate and Clare play off each other to give a robust picture of the current political situation.

Downgrading corruption.

Not worth my time. They really don't have anything to say but negate the facts and downgrade corruption. Such opinions are useless
