The numbers are in. Pollster Shaun Ratcliff joins Democracy Sausage to dissect the latest election data and what it means for the future of #auspol.

What do the numbers tell us about when the shift to Labor started? 

What does the fall off in the primary vote tell us about the future of our politics? 

And what’s behind young voters moving away from major parties? 

On this episode of Democracy Sausage, Dr Shaun Ratcliff joins Professor Mark Kenny and Dr Marija Taflaga to go over what the latest election data tells us about the state of our democracy.
