From the economy to security, and migration to democracy, the EU referendum poses hard questions about the UK’s relation to Europe and the world. Answering those questions divides both political left and right. But is there a distinctively progressive case for ‘Remain’? If so, what is it? What hopes for Europe does it embody, and how might those aims be achieved? This discussion, featuring a panel of high-profile figures in left-of-centre politics, is part of Compass’s UK-wide series of events on what ‘A Good Europe’ might look like.
All are very welcome – and the bulk of the session will be given over to audience debate. There is an admission charge of £2.
Speakers:
Natalie Bennett (Leader, Green Party of England and Wales)
Stephen Doughty MP (Welsh Labour)
Neal Lawson (Chair, Compass)
John Osmond (Plaid Cymru, former Director of the Institute of Welsh Affairs)
The discussion will be chaired by well-known economist and former government adviser Gerry Holtham.
Doors open 5.45pm.
