SUMMARY:Democracy Loves Local Power
DESCRIPTION:The UK is the most centralised country in Western Europe\, and First Past the Post is not helping. FPTP’s ‘winner takes all’ culture draws power further into Westminster\, and incentivises those wielding that power to keep it with themselves. ‘Levelling up democracy’ is therefore increasingly becoming a part of discussions of how we address regional inequalities. \nIn this event\, we will highlight how PR can help rebalance power across the UK\, and how countries with Proportional Representation have often been more effective at levelling up. \nJoin our cross-party panel of speakers: \nJane Dodds\, Liberal Democrat MS \nDavid Ford\, former Alliance Party Leader and MLA \nZack Polanski\, Green Party London AM \nTommy Sheppard\, Scottish National Party MP \nPaul Sweeney\, Labour Party MSP \nJackie Weaver (chair) \nPresentations\, followed by a Q&A\, will be recorded and uploaded to YouTube afterwards.
