After 12 years in power what has Labour really achieved? Where did the party get it right and wrong? Is the social democratic model of growing public services paid for by the growth dividend dead? How can the party renew itself – and can it do it in time to win the next election? How can trust and interest in party politics be re-ignited?
These are some of the questions that IPPR, teaming up again with LabourList, will aim to answer during the conference fringe event New Labour: dead or alive…where next?
This event will feature Foreign Secretary David Miliband, IPPR‘s Co-Director Carey Oppenheim, Guardian Columnist Jonathan Freedland, Labour PPC for Streatham Chuka Umunna and Alex Hilton of LabourHome. The event will take place on Tuesday 29th September, between 6pm and 7.30pm at the Alexandra Room in Brighton’s Grand Hotel.
So that this is not an event shaped solely by Westminster elites, IPPR have invited LabourList readers to take part, too.
We’re looking for a panel of 50 people to answer fourteen straightforward questions on New Labour’s successes, failures and response to the economic and democratic crises of the last 18 months.
So, in a unique experiment and by the power of the internet, the aggregated results of this survey will remotely make up the views of the final member of the event’s panel: you.
You can also contribute to the event by Tweeting to us @LabourList and @IPPR before and during the event in a couple of weeks.
To take part and add your voice to the IPPR panel straight away, please email labourlist@googlemail.com now and we will send you further details.
