Abstract

In the aftermath of televised debates like the one between Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer, the question often asked is “who won?” Snap polling seems to provide a mixed picture, but in the absence of a catastrophic performance by either leader, TV debates don’t have the capacity to change voters’ minds, argues Nick Anstead. They merely reflect the political circumstances in which they take place.
