50- Opposition in the New Parliament


Listen Later

As the new parliament gets underway, we consider the changed political landscape, and the implications for the way opposition operates, with a wider variety of opposition voices in the House of Commons facing the new government from the benches opposite.
To analyse and discuss the implications, this episode brings you a recording of our expert webinar, which took place on the first full day of parliamentary proceedings following the King's Speech. Alongside Dr Nigel Fletcher, it features:
- Peter Kellner CBE - Pollster, broadcaster and award-winning journalist; former Chairman and president of YouGov
- Baroness (Janet) Royall of Blaisdon - Former Leader of the Labour Party in the House of Lords and Chair of the Centre for Opposition Studies
- Professor Paula Surridge - Professor of Political Sociology, University of Bristol; co-author of The British General Election of 2019 (and the forthcoming edition on 2024)
- Baroness (Tina) Stowell of Beeston - Former Leader of the Conservative Party in the House of Lords; Previously Deputy Chief of Staff to William Hague as Leader of the Opposition
The event is introduced by Professor Mohammed Abdel-Haq, Executive Director of the Centre for Opposition Studies.
