At this critical time for UK democracy, the RSA brings together a panel of key players and commentators to respond to the current political crisis and to debate the range of parliamentary, electoral and constitutional reform proposals which are now being considered by politicians, parties and the public.

Our panel will focus, in particular, on the issue of electoral reform, and ask: is the growing call for electoral reform the right response, right now?
