BBC World Service - The Real Story, UK Election 2017: The World View

After polls in the UK, Europe and US, what have we learned about voter allegiances?

The UK election has produced a much closer result than expected, with the Conservative Party now seeking to form a minority government.  On Newshour Extra this week, Owen Bennett Jones and his panel of experts from around the world take a step back and ask what issues voters really take into account when making their choice in democratic elections; what motivates that very personal choice; and whether old ideologies allegiances have been swept aside to be replaced by new and stronger ties fostered by a more individual brand of politics.
