Recent elections in the United States, Australia and the United Kingdom have provided surprising results. The election of Donald Trump as US president, the Coalition win this year in Australia, and the Brexit vote have generated considerable interest in changing voting patterns, the role of populism, the efficacy and ethics of data-driven campaigns, and the accuracy of political commentary and polling.
International campaign strategist and co-founder of the C|T Group, Mark Textor, and quantitative political scientists Professor Simon Jackman and Dr Shaun Ratcliff held a discussion about campaigns, the role of data in modern politics and populism in the United States, Australia and the United Kingdom.
