Compass events: The Trade Union Case for PR
Featuring Lynn Henderson (PCS Union and Chair of the Electoral Reform Society) and Nancy Platts (Campaign Collective and Politics for the Many)
The Trade Union Case for PR
In this Compass podcast, Lynne Henderson and Nancy Platts discuss what PR means for the trade union movement.
It was a watershed moment in October 2022 when the Labour Party conference overwhelmingly voted to include in its manifesto a commitment to change the voting system to proportional representation after the next election. Just the year before, despite mass support in the membership, the motion failed because the affiliated Trade Unions opposed the motion. To discuss this historic shift, what the changing the voting systems means to the trade union movement, and where next, we’re excited to be joined by Lynn Henderson and Nancy Platts.
