The polls tell us this election is over. But is that evident in what people are saying on Twitter? Is there an upset happening under everyone's noses?
Blurrt Out The Vote is the definitive social media guide to the 2017 General Election. Presenter Tom Price and a host of guests will analyse and understand what voters are thinking and feeling based on what they are writing on social media. And whether Twitter holds any big clues that the parties should be heeding before June 8th.
The star of the show is Blurrt, the leading social media insights platform, which defies the polls and correctly predicted Trump, Brexit and the 2015 Election results. So what will it tell us this time?
