As politics continues to dominate the news agenda, what do Britons want from their democracy?
Join us to discuss why distrust and disengagement in politics is so dangerous and what can be done to address it.
Hosted by the John Smith Centre, Conleth Burns and Luke Tryl from More in Common will explore the findings of their recent report Democratic Repair, featuring nine recommendations to help rebuild trust in political processes and institutions. Chaired by Kezia Dugdale, there will be plenty time for audience Q&A.
More in Common’s mission is to understand the forces driving us apart, to find common ground and help to bring people together to tackle our shared challenges.
The John Smith Centre exists to make the positive case for politics and public service.
