Trying to think if there are any particularly notable Cursed Political Objects from GE2024 (the kind that only a very well-connected private collector would be able to gather, like the Ed Stone). Rishi Sunak's rained-on suit jacket?

Haha, exactly. Ok Kemi I'm sure voters were telling you that in a public services election where your own vote share went down 22 points!!

I don't disagree, but the Modernisation Committee to which I was referring is specifically considering modernisation of the House of Commons, so in this case it definitely does apply.

Good piece Stephen, an amazingly flat-footed response. Something tells me the Modernisation Committee is going to have a new no.1 item on its agenda.

I suppose in many ways the plenary is a loss leader...

Is there a problem here that the parties just need the money?

You can do much worse than starting at the start with Under the Net

Also, obv. What nation doesn't involve a certain amount of fakery?

I love this poll solely for the unfavourability of the Huns. Turns out being a byword for barbarity is bad for your popularity.

What, and read reports? Talk to researchers? Look at data other than published polls? Ew!
