The Constitutional Consequences of Electoral Reform (Labour Conference)

09 Oct

ACC Liverpool, King's Dock, Port of Liverpool, Kings Dock Street, Liverpool , L3 4FP

Monday 09 Oct 23 7:00 pm

The voting system for the UK Parliament has long been a subject of debate on the UK Constitution. And, for the first time, the 2021 British Social Attitudes survey found a majority of the public (51%) in favour of electoral reform.

Speakers:

  • Florence Eshalomi MP, Shadow Minister for Democracy
  • Mick Antoniw MS, Counsel General of Wales and Minister for the Constitution for the Welsh Government
  • Darren Hughes, Chief Executive of the Electoral Reform Society
  • Alex Thomas, Programme Director at the Institute for Government

This event will be chaired by Jess Sargeant, Associate Director at the Institute for Government.

Drawing on the IfG/Bennett Institute Review of the UK constitution, this event in partnership with the Electoral Reform Society would explore the knock-on implications of changing the voting system for the working of parliament, the functioning of government, and devolution and the union.
