"The Audit of Political Engagement is the only annual health check on the state of our democracy. Now in its 15th year, each Audit measures the ‘political pulse’ of the nation, providing a unique benchmark to gauge public opinion across Great Britain about politics and the political process. This year’s report explores 15 years of political engagement, comparing the situation today with that in the first Audit published in 2004. The impact of recent events as a form of ‘electric shock therapy’ for political engagement is explored, as is the trajectory of engagement among key groups such as the Scots and young people. Looking in detail at this year’s wave of results, the report focuses on the question of whether current political engagement levels are entirely due to the usual postelection movements or whether there is a delayed EU referendum effect in play. Following the June 2017 general election which resulted in a hung Parliament, this study also takes a closer look at what the public think about the system of governing Britain, how they view political parties, and the role that different forms of traditional and social media play in informing and influencing the electorate." -- Information taken from back cover.
