Hanging together or hanging separately: Can the Left work together?

Social Liberal Forum co-hosts with Compass on the Progressive Alliance

This event is part of the book tour for The Alternative and Compass’ Progressive Alliance initiative. The book is based on two premises – that working together with like-minded people produces better outcomes, and the UK may have reached the point where only some form of ‘progressive alliance’ will ever deliver a left-of-centre government – it is a collection of essays compiled jointly by a leading Labour MP (Lisa Nandy), a Liberal Democrat (Chris Bowers), and a Green (Caroline Lucas). It covers policies and values that could unite the progressives, and looks at the possible mechanics for cooperation.

David Howarth (SLF Council) discusses with Green MP Caroline Lucas, Labour MP Lisa Nandy and Liberal Democrat Chris Bowers their new book The Alternative: Towards a New Progressive Politics. Copies will be available for sale at the meeting. Chair: Gordon Lishman (SLF Council).
