Brexit, Trump, Morrison: How Did The Polls Get It So Wrong? | Q&A

Angus Mullins asked: "It was predicted that Brexit was not going to happen, that Donald Trump would not win the presidency, and now that the Liberal Government would not be re-elected. With “the silent majority” touted as the reason for recent conservative successes, why is it that progressive parties such as Labor are out of touch with the majority of voters?"

It is driven by interaction: Q&A provides a rare opportunity for Australian citizens to directly question and hold to account politicians and key opinion leaders in a national public forum and Q&A is broadcast live so that not only the studio audience but also the wider audience can get involved. We aim to create a discussion that is constructive, that reflects a diverse range of views and that provides a safe environment where people can respectfully discuss their differences. It’s impossible to represent every view on a single panel or in one audience but we’re committed to giving participants a fair go. In order to be as inclusive and diverse as possible, the program is presented from a range of locations around the country and all Australians are encouraged to get involved through social media as well as by joining the audience. This is an official Australian Broadcasting Corporation YouTube channel.
