Defensive Constitutional Reform: What we told Parliament - and why it matters

How can we better protect UK democracy before it is put to the test?

In April, the 99% Organisation was joined by Open Britain fellow democracy campaigners in Parliament to launch their report Defensive Constitutional Reform. Together, they met MPs and peers to discuss practical reforms that could strengthen the UK's democratic institutions and safeguard them against future threats.

This online event explores the report's findings, reflects on the conversations held in Parliament, and examines what reforms may be needed to ensure British democracy remains resilient in the years ahead.

Chaired by:

Dominic Minghella

Panel:

• Mark E Thomas, founder of the 99% Organisation and author of 99%: Mass Impoverishment and How We Can End It

• Professor Christina Pagel, founder of the Trump Action Tracker
• Tom Brake, CEO of Unlock Democracy and former MP

Watch the discussion to hear directly from the people who presented these ideas in Parliament and to learn why strengthening democratic safeguards matters now more than ever.
