Professor Rosie Campbell is Professor of Politics at Birkbeck University and specialises in voting behaviour. In this rickshaw ride through the psychology of voting, Rosie and Matt explore the appeal of local candidates, the Derren Brown-style techniques used in Rosie's latest research, a fascinating concept of 'Motivated Cognition' which could determine your opinion of a cat, plus loads more including a discovery of how sad they are which leads to a suggestion for possibly the best day trip ever. Oh and there's a revelation about halfway through about the studio which may not surprise you.
