Mandate Quarterly
In an era of overconfidence and noise, we don’t start with the answers.
We start with the
right questions.
The issues that define
Political Moments
Mandate Quarterly is our flagship research programme. Every quarter, it features an intensive deep dive into a single topic that defines the political moment – the cost of living crisis, international partnerships in the Trump era, or narratives on migration, AI, and climate.
Looking beyond
National Horizons
Through large representative panels across the UK, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Sweden, Poland, Finland and the US (alongside rotating country spotlights on emerging global headlines), we capture the shifts in public sentiment on a multi-national level. We track attitudes toward leaders, policies, and voting behavior at scale and over time.
