Events

This year, More in Common has a full programme of events at both the Labour and Conservative Party Conferences. 

Our programme of twenty one events covers a wide range of themes, topics and debates: 

• Party coalitions: At both the Labour and Conservative Conferences, we’ll be using fresh and exclusive polling and focus group research to explore both parties’ respective voter coalitions at the recent general election - through the lens of the British Seven segments.
• Respect: In partnership with the UCL Policy Lab, we will be running events on the politics of respect at both conferences, exploring how both parties can regain and retain the public's trust.
• Migration: At Labour Party Conference, we will be exploring what's next for Labour after scrapping the Rwanda plan. At Conservative Party Conference we will debate the Conservative's position on the ECHR.
• Equality, diversity, and inclusion: We’ll also be exploring approaches to building a new consensus on EDI at both conferences.

Special thanks to our partners for their collaboration and partnership with these events.
