Conservative/Labour vote share
Number of possible reasons for error…
Lots of knee jerk reactions
Late swing?
Shy Tories? Sampling error?
Labour turnout?
BPC Inquiry to unpick…
Will be more than one reason, and may vary by pollster – unlike 1992…

Don't know
Austerity and cuts in
government spending were
never really needed to fix the
national economy, it was just an
excuse to cut public services
Whilst a period of austerity was
needed to fix the national
economy, we don't need
another five years of cuts in
government spending
The national economy is not yet
fully fixed, so we will need to
continue with austerity and
cuts in government spending
over the next five years

Challenge 1 – quality and speed
“It is a misunderstanding to assume somehow this is
about technology rather than about data. The essential thing is the quality and reliability of the underlying data and updating it in real time. We haven't been able to master those two aspects yet.”
Tim Kelsey,
In interview with Ipsos MORI (Understanding Society), 2013
Many data quality challenges…
• Big doesn’t necessarily mean more representative
• Identifying location is often challenging
• Demographic information is sometimes limited
• Identifying groups based on behaviour is often a process of trial and error
• Need to maintain privacy

In conclusion - change is coming (as always)
Values change relatively slowly
But certainly “tipping point” risks
Transparency and lack of trust…
Pressure to innovate is relentless
Greatest human needs unchanged
Good luck
