Conference 2023: Panel 4 Elections and Electoral Reform
Manage episode 373616958 series 2840877
Adopting a more proportional electoral system is opposed by the Conservative Party, and by the Labour leader, but attracts growing support elsewhere. Would such reform be desirable or practical, and what might be its consequences? What might politicians wish to consider regarding other aspects of our elections, such as the minimum voting age, voter ID rules, or the reform proposals of the Law Commissions? How might any such changes be delivered?
Speakers
Cat Smith MP – Labour MP for Lancaster and Fleetwood and former shadow minister for the Cabinet Office
Lord (Robert) Hayward – Conservative peer
John Pullinger – Chair of the Electoral Commission
Professor Sarah Birch – Professor of Political Science at King’s College London
Chair: Professor Alan Renwick – Deputy Director of the Constitution Unit, UCL
