British politics since the 2016 Brexit referendum has been characterised by the emergence of a new divide, between graduates and school leavers. Education now has a stronger relationship with vote choice than any other demographic or economic variables other than age. This presentation will examine the demographic and political drivers of the emerging education divide, and will explore the implications of rising education divides for the major political parties in recent elections and in the election to come later this year. Bio: Robert Ford is a Professor of Political Science at the University of Manchester, working in the areas of public opinion, electoral choice and party politics. His first book (co-authored with Matthew Goodwin) - "Revolt on the Right" - examined the rise of the UK Independence Party. It was named Political Book of the Year in 2015. His second book, “Brexitland”, written with Maria Sobolewska, explored the political drivers of the 2016 EU referendum. Robert has also edited two volumes of short essays looking at voter behaviour and public opinion - "Sex, Lies and the Ballot Box" and "More Sex, Lies and the Ballot Box". He is currently working on a number of projects, including investigating how the interaction between racial prejudices and anti-racist norms influences the politics of immigration and the anti-immigrant far-right in Europe.
