163 - Home ownership, renting and voting

About this episode

The episode discusses how home ownership and renting influence voting behavior, featuring insights from research on Western democracies.

How does owning your home or renting impact on how you vote? For today's podcast, Ben was joined by Shaun Ratcliff and Josh Goddard to discuss what we know about how home ownership (or asset ownership more broadly) influences voting trends. We discuss Josh's research looking at 14 different Western democracies, and also hear from Shaun about more research closer to home. You can now watch a video version of this podcast on Youtube.
