Professor Jane Green, Co-Director BES, said:
"Understanding exceptional elections is only possible if you can analyse them in the context of over-time comparison, and this is what the British Election Study, over 60 years, has made possible. It's a privilege to help lead the British Election Study and it will be great to celebrate at the anniversary event on September 9th. It is sure to be a fascinating lecture!”
