SUMMARY:Levelling Up Democracy: Andy Burnham
DESCRIPTION:Join Andy Burnham\, in conversation with Guardian columnist Zoe Williams\, at the first of Labour for a New Democracy’s online Levelling Up Democracy series. \n“If the status quo has created the problem\, it can’t\, by definition\, supply the solution. Successful levelling up requires nothing less than the complete rewiring of Britain” \nAndy Burnham\, writing in Chartist Magazine \nThe UK has the worst regional inequality of any rich nation. Yet the current ‘levelling up’ debate ignores the deep\, structural causes of this: from a system that hordes power in Westminster\, to an unrepresentative House of Commons that struggles to see the big picture. \nBefore becoming Mayor of Greater Manchester\, Andy Burnham served as Labour MP for Leigh and in a number of Cabinet and Shadow Cabinet roles. Now outside of Westminster\, and with the pandemic shining a spotlight on just how unequal the UK is\, he will share his ideas on how radical democratic reform can help address inequality\, net-zero and a healthier political culture. \nHow can Proportional Representation\, devolution and more form a central part of Labour’s programme for rebuilding Britain? Join us to find out. \nFind out more and book your place

SUMMARY:Unison for PR - Spring 2022
DESCRIPTION:Join this  meeting of Unison members who want to see their union come out in favour of Proportional Representation. \nUnison branches up and down the UK have been debating and passing motions in favour of PR – and sending them to the 2022 National Delegate Conference. With the motions in\, the next crucial step is to get PR prioritised by as many regions as possible – to make sure the issue makes it to debate on the conference floor. \nCome along on Thursday to hear how that prioritisation process works – and how you\, as a Unison member\, can lobby your region to push for a debate on PR. \nPlus\, we’ll look ahead to the the NDC\, start thinking about organising conference delegates\, and get an update on the separate Labour Link process. \nRegister today
