| Description |
Professor Stein Ringen argues that the conclusion to be drawn from the experience of New Labour - from its brilliant election victory in 1997, to the onset of the economic crisis in 2007, is that what Britain needs, more than a new government, is a new constitution. Join Stein Ringen and an expert panel at the RSA, as they assess the real outcomes of the past decade of a government which was strongly in power, had a clear mandate and was benefitting from steady economic growth.
Are the lessons to be drawn more about the British system of government, rather than about the economic policies and actions of any specific administration? Speakers: Stein Ringen, Professor of Sociology and Social Policy at the University of Oxford; Polly Toynbee, Guardian columnist and broadcaster; Lord Raymond Plant, Labour peer and Professor of Jurisprudence and Political Philosophy at King's College London.
