SUMMARY:The Representation Gap
DESCRIPTION:How representative is Parliament? What does this mean for policy and politics? \n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\n\nIn representative democracies\, parliament (or the legislative) determines whose ‘voices’ in democracy filter through to governance and decision-making – and whose do not. \nOn one hand\, the social and economic background of parliamentarians has an important impact on the policy choices they make in office. One the other hand\, it has repercussions for public trust in democratic politics and voting behaviour. \nAs recent political scandals in the UK push issues relating to political representation up the agenda\, we will consider: \n\nHow representative is the House of Commons of UK society?\nAre recent improvements in gender and minority ethnic representation cause for celebration? Or is there more than meets the eye?\nWhy is there a growing ‘representation gap’ with regard to social class? What are the implications for policy and politics?\nHow does political representation in the UK compare to other representative democracies?\nHow can we improve the representativeness of parliament?\n\nA keynote address will be delivered by the Rt Hon Angela Rayner MP\, Deputy Leader of the Labour Party. This will be followed by a panel discussion. Our speakers are: \n\nProfessor Rainbow Murray\, Professor of Politics at Queen Mary University of London\nMichael Jennewein\, Researcher for Democracy and Economics at FES Democracy of the Future – Vienna\nLisa Eigbadon\, co-founder of Grassroots Graduates and youth advisor at Rekindle School\nMichael Bankole\, PHD candidate in the Department of Political Economy\, King’s College London\n\nThis event is taking place on Monday 4 July from 5 – 6.30pm at Convocation Hall\, Church House\, Westminster\, Great Smith Street\, London\, SW1P 3AZ. The event is being held in partnership with Friedrich Ebert Stiftung (FES).
