Election Psychology: Are We Voting by Choice or by Influence?
A 60-minute session on how we really make up our minds at election time: the family at the dinner table, the forwards on the phone, the queue outside the booth, the famous face on the poster. This is about how people decide, never about which side anyone picks. Twelve independent cards; open three or four.
How we do this
Be respectfulDisagree with the point, never the person.
Raise your hand to speakSo nobody has to talk over anybody.
Keep it shortSay the thing, then let the next person in.
Discussion is encouragedReply to each other, not just to the question.
Tangents are allowedIf the room follows it, it is the discussion.
This is a safe spaceWhat is said here stays in the room.
