Labour for a New Democracy to join Spring Conference Fringe
As Liberal Democrats, electoral reform is a no brainer. But we can't get there on our own.
At Labour Party Conference last autumn, constituency Labour Parties voted overwhelmingly in favour of adopting a form of PR as Labour Party policy. We appreciate the work being done by reform-minded Labour members. So what's next for Labour when it comes to adopting PR?
Join Laura Parker from Labour for a New Democracy and other panellists to discuss this - and more - on the fringe of Spring Conference on Sunday 13th March, 1pm - 2:15pm.
And what should we be doing? Hear Alistair Carmichael, our spokesperson on Political Reform. And Willie Rennie shares the experience from Scotland, where, of course, PR is already in place for elections to the Holyrood Parliament and local councils.
Co-hosted with allies Unlock Democracy - whose Director Tom Brake chairs the session.
