What are the political tribes which divide British voters today and how will June's general election shape Britain?
Britain voted last year on the question of the EU - and following Theresa May's surprise announcement, we vote again on who should take us out.
The nature of the result could define British political life for decades to come - so how will voters decide? And what might the impact of the campaign be on Britain's future outside the European Union?
David Aaronovitch speaks to political experts to assess the upcoming campaign and its potential to shape the country Britain becomes.
