Submit ReviewThis week Helen and David explore some counterfactuals: What if Remain had won in 2016? What if Corbyn hadn't got on the leadership ballot in 2015? What if Scotland had voted for independence in 2014? We consider whether British politics would be very different or whether a lot of what we are seeing in 2019 was coming anyway. Plus we explore if there are any circumstances in which the stranglehold of the two main parties could be broken in a general election and why the Lib Dems have so spectacularly failed to break it this time.
Talking Points:
What would have happened if Remain won the referendum?
What if Corbyn hadn’t been on the ballot for Labour leadership?
What if Scotland had voted for independence?
Can a third party break through?
