SUMMARY:Has FPTP Worked for Workers? (TUC Congress)
DESCRIPTION:The powerful levers of the state are being used to undo rights and freedoms\, attack communities and lock people out of their democratic rights.

Only by putting democracy at the heart of our agenda can we build an economy and society that works for all – a politics for the many. \nChair: Lynn Henderson\, PCS and Chair of Politics for the Many \nSpeakers:\n\nSam Tarry MP\nJulie Ward – former MEP and Unite member\nCllr James Beckles – Unison member\nJulian Vaughan – ASLEF member and former PPC\nPauline McCarthy – BFAWU and member of Labour NEC\nCaroline Osborne – Labour for a New Democracy and Unite member\n\nAs this is a fringe event you do not need to be a delegate to attend. \n Register Attendence

SUMMARY:Why First Past the Post doesn’t add up for Labour (L4ND - Labour Conference)
DESCRIPTION:Join Labour for a New Democracy for Why First Past the Post doesn’t add up for Labour. \nAt its founding\, the Labour Party was committed to Proportional Representation. But as Labour came to replace the Liberals as the second party of British politics\, it came to embrace First Past the Post. Yet over the century that followed\, FPTP has delivered neither the fair and equal society nor the open and inclusive democracy that Labour stands for. \nJoin the panel to hear why FPTP doesn’t stack up for Labour\, and why we must back a fair\, proportional system at this year’s Labour Party conference. \nChair: Nancy Platts (Politics for the Many) \n\nProfessor Rob Ford (University of Manchester)\nDebbie Abrahams MP (Oldham East & Saddleworth)\nAlex Sobel MP (Leeds North West)\nOlivia Blake MP (Sheffield Hallam)\nPaul Sweeney MSP (Glasgow Region)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRefreshments provided.\nWheelchair access.

SUMMARY:Democratising the British State – The Foundation of a Good Society (Labour Conference)
