Seminar: Campaigning and Politics

‘Politics’, it has been said, ‘is the art of the possible’. Campaigning in a political environment must combine the ideal with what is possible.

We explore with Imogen Sinclair, Director of the New Social Covenant Unit, if there is any appetite for ‘valuing care’; what are the differences in thought between those on the left and right, and what inroads could we practically make with all parties. Can Labour be persuaded to allow parents ‘Choice’? How can we ensure that ‘caring’ is valued as ‘work’ and not penalised either in the benefits system or in the tax system? Come and listen to the discussion!
