The panel discussion is moderated by noted tech journalist Karlin Lillington (The…

Only two countries in Europe still use the ‘First Past the Post’ voting system for general elections - the dictatorship in Belarus, and the United Kingdom. This means the UK Parliament does not reflect the voters, the votes of millions of people do not count, and the country is stuck with confrontational politics not fit to respond to the challenges of the 21st Century. Make Votes Matter is the national movement for Proportional Representation, and promotes the adoption of a…

It is only now, as we edge further away from the height of the Covid pandemic, that the real effects of Brexit are starting to become more visible.

To discuss this, The Independent is hosting a virtual event, chaired by their…

New analysis from Open Democracy shows how the Conservative party has become dependent on bankers and hedge fund tycoons, who are now responsible for almost 40% of all donations. The findings have sparked warnings from opposition MPs and transparency campaigners that Boris Johnson is reliant on "vested interests" who want to "drive the UK towards a Singapore-on-Thames-style model of light-touch regulation and low business taxes". (Read more here: https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/dark-money-investigations/tories-rake-in-11m-from-hedge-funds-and-finance-tycoons/) The people who produce and consume the news are increasingly elites…

Pro Europa Brussels invites you to a discussion with Prof Andrew Geddis of Otago University. There are many parallels between New Zealand's experience prior to the introduction of PR and the situation in the UK today, where the Conservatives and some in the Labour Party are clinging to their vested interest in the present first-past-the-post system. That was also true in NZ, yet the people of that country were able to change to a fairer and more democratic system. How…

In the turbulent period following the First World War the young Count Richard Coudenhove-Kalergi founded the Pan-European Union, offering a vision of peaceful, democratic unity for Europe.

This event will explore Martyn's recent publication, 'Hitler’s Cosmopolitan Bastard'.

Adrian Wooldridge, Political Editor and “Bagehot” columnist of The Economist. What binds us and divides us? Are there links to Brexit and our PM?

Just what has Brexit meant for touring performers, musicians and festival organisers? What are the parallels for other industries? We cannot express the issue any better than Sir Simon Rattle, whose family are based in Germany, has applied for a German passport and said any musician with only a UK passport was at a disadvantage. “People who are normally hired by organisations abroad are being told, ‘I’m sorry, we just don’t have the capacity to bring somebody from the United…

Will Hutton’s The State We’re In was one of the most important polemical works of the 1990s. The challenging, creative critique of the UK's political economy caught the public mood and provided intellectual underpinning for a period of progressive renewal. The book remains one of the bestselling books on UK public policy. But how relevant is it today? Are the problems faced by the UK different now? And what lessons are there in progressive renewal? To mark the book's 25th…

Brexit not only gave rise to political and institutional upheavals; it also had another long-term consequence, namely a polarisation and division of British society that goes beyond generational divisions, socio-professional contexts and political and ideological leanings. Whether for or against, the discussions about this divorce are as heated as ever and the arguments on both sides are becoming increasingly entrenched. To discuss the international repercussions of Brexit over the long term and construct a new narrative of the event by…

The effects of Brexit will be felt for decades to come. It follows from this that young people are going to suffer for longer and, in many ways, more severely than many people due to the particular impacts of Brexit on their life chances.

David Clarke, EMiS vice-chair, will talk to Willie Rennie MSP, former Scottish Lib Dems leader and current spokesman for education, economy and communities, followed by Q&A.

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.

How can we persuade people who are not yet pro-EU to change their minds? There is now strong evidence that we don’t do it by arguing with them or bombarding them with statistics: these methods don’t work. A different approach, “Deep Canvassing”, aims to change political opinions by means of a non-confrontational conversation, using empathic listening and real life stories in preference to argument and presentation of facts and figures. Developed in the United States, Deep Canvassing is backed by…
