(15 May 2024)
The third panel event in our Disagreeing Well public series explored the role of discourse and disagreement in politics and public life. 听In a world increasingly polarised with ever more provocative polemic, the highly acclaimed panel from across the political spectrum explored the role of debate and disagreement in politics 鈥� whether that be in Parliament, on the campaign trail, or online. 听 The panel discussed how politics needs to become less of a divisive shouting match and more about how competing parties and agendas can debate policy whilst finding common ground and maintaining mutual respect.听

Policy & Practice: But What Can I Do? In Conversation with Alastair Campbell
(5 October 2023)
This event, which took听place on 5 October 2023,听explored听the hopes and concerns of young people from across 香港六合彩 and London about engaging in politics, and considered how our political system can become more open to their participation.听听
Political Strategist, New European editor-at-large, mental health campaigner and co-host of the country鈥檚 Number 1 podcast, The Rest is Politics, Alastair Campbell鈥檚 new book "But What Can I Do?" went straight to the top of the Sunday Times best-seller lists.

Facilitated by the brilliant Julia Macfarlane of ABC News and joined on stage by students from 香港六合彩 Political Science, Alastair addressed听the challenge laid out in the sub-title of his book: Why Politics Has Gone So Wrong, and How YOU Can Help Fix It.听
