In episode #9, Stephen Tall and Mark Pick pick over the European election results and what comes next for the Lib Dems. Can the party sustain its May run of successes?

Show notes

• Kieran Pedley co-hosts the Polling Matters podcast, which you can find here.
• Examples 1, 2 and 3 of how the media missed the story of the Lib Dem surge.
• Details of Lord Ashcroft's polling.
• Tim Bale points out that the referendum theory Stephen mentioned doesn't really hold water.
• Phil Cowley writes and edits great books, and here is his tweet we mentioned.
• And... ignore my garbled reference to the 1992 general election. The comparison that can be done in different ways is between 1987 and 1992, not 1992 and 1997.
