If voting changes so little, what are the means of radical change?

Red Pepper Debate: If voting changes so little, what are the means of radical change?

Time:5:00PM Saturday, April 24th
Location: Housman's Bookstore, 5 Caledonian Rd, King's Cross, London

A discussion with Hilary Wainwright (Red Pepper, author of ‘Reclaim the State’,) Stuart White (Oxford University, editor of 'Building a Citizen Society') and Marianne Maeckelbergh (Leiden University, author of 'The Will of the Many').

Two weeks ahead of the forthcoming general election, this debate sets out to challenge... the merit of engaging in the current voting process, and discuss possible alternative means to initiate change in the political arena of the UK.

Red Pepper was launched in May 1995 and aims to provide a bold and attractive voice for the independent-minded left. It also aimed to provide a means by which people from different traditions on the left could think aloud as they tried to recover from the defeats of the 1980s, drawing inspiration from green, feminist and ’developing’ world liberation movements to recreate a socialist vision.

Come one. come all.
