This Shows Why Politicians Endlessly Repeat Slogans

Chances are that if you read UK Polling Report you are interested in politics and well informed, or at least better informed than most people. You are probably as a result bored of hearing that Keir Starmer is the son of a toolmaker and that Rishi Sunak is the son of an NHS GP. That won't stop them repeating their backstory over and over during the coming election. More in Common asked voters what Sunak and Starmer's fathers did for a living. Less than one in five of the public knew Rishi's back story and almost nine out of ten could not identify Starmer as the son of a toolmaker. Politically engaged broadsheet readers overestimate the public's interest in politics.
