Changing party politics in the UK

The APPG for Fair Elections was pleased to co-host this online event with UK in a Changing Europe, featuring APPG Vice Chair Lisa Smart MP and APPG member Sean Woodcock MP alongside Professor Rob Ford and Catherine Barnard. The event focused on the impact of unprecedented political fragmentation on the First Past the Post voting system.
