    SIMON ROBERTS How the election was won by Peter Wilby, 2010 After the 1945 General Election, the first in which radio played a role, the Nuffield College election study hailed a transformation of politics. Public meetings, previously the only forum where large numbers of voters could make direct judgments of candidates and party leaders, were sparsely attended and, though it was the first general election in a decade, the electorate’s mood had been judged apathetic. But, the Nuffield study pointed out, an average of 45 per cent of the adult population listened to party broadcasts every evening after the nine o’clock news. Astonishing, as it may now seem, these took the form of a single politician making a speech (rather as he or she would on a public platform) for at least twenty minutes and sometimes thirty. While acknowledging that the electorate’s role was now more passive – before phone-ins, radio lacked questions and heckling – the Nuffield academics’ verdict was largely positive. “The exposition of policy,” they wrote, “tends to be more lucid and intellectually able than that delivered from the local platform…the element of mass emotion, which is always liable to arise and sweep through large congregations of people, intensifying their passions and clouding their judgment, is entirely absent.” What was extraordinary about the 2010 General Election campaign was that its central events, the televised leaders’ debates, could easily have been on radio in 1945. This was expected to be “the first internet election” because it was the first in which a clear majority of UK households had internet access, rather as a clear majority had TV sets for the first time in the “first television election” of 1959.

  • Tim Shipman Political Editor, the Sunday Times Media Masters – June 14, 2018 Listen to the Podcast Online, Visit
    Tim Shipman Political Editor, The Sunday Times Media Masters – June 14, 2018 Listen to the podcast online, visit www.mediamasters.fm Welcome to Media Masters, a series of one to one interviews with people at the top of the media game. Today, I’m joined by Tim Shipman, political editor of the Sunday Times. A veteran of four UK elections and three in the US, Tim’s career includes time at the Daily Express, the Sunday Telegraph and the Daily Mail, where he was named deputy political editor in 2009. His best selling book, All Out War, is widely regarded as the definitive account of what happened behind the scenes of the Brexit referendum, and he recently took home the Print Journalist of the Year Award from the London Press Club. Tim, thank you for joining me. Great pleasure to be here. So, Tim, tell us about your new book, Fall Out, the story of Teresa May’s bungled election and the battle for Brexit. It reads more like a thriller, really. What a year to chronicle. Yes, it’s amazing. A lot of people were generous enough to say the first book was a thriller but they thought the second one was a horror story, but I think that may just be people in the Tory party. But it chronicles all the mess that happened post the referendum, Theresa May ended the first book triumphant, it looked like she couldn’t do any wrong. Mistress of all she surveyed. And the second book is all about how she spent six months grinding away at Brexit, and then thought, “I’ve got a 20% poll lead, let’s have a crack at this,” and what went wrong and what happened afterwards.
