2021 Roadshow
The Labour for a New Democracy Roadshow ran between 12th May - 14th of July 2021. This series of twelve online events featured an amazing line up of speakers from across the Labour movement and beyond - and explore all things #labour4pr. Find videos of the Roadshow events below.
Why does First Past the Post advantage the right? Is our current system really the best way to achieve radical policies like the Green New Deal, or can a new democracy get us there faster? And what does the evidence tell us about electoral systems and extremism?
Find out the answer and more with leading MPs, trade unionists, academics, journalists and activists!
We are looking forward to taking this debate to conference this September. If you haven’t already, please do table our conference motion at your CLP to ensure PR makes it on to the conference agenda!
