The Young 3million – YEN: Webinar – Oct 26, 05:00 PM The Young Europeans Network – Elections Bill.
Our campaign is asking for residence-based voting rights i.e., that all residents with lawful residence in the UK have the right to vote in local elections in England and Northern Ireland, as is already the case in Scotland and Wales.
• A Request – We are looking to speak to The Lords! We have an amendment drafted and a briefing paper. We are keen on for them to support it practically when it reaches them. Please do make introductions if you are able to. Contact Details: lara.parizotto@the3million.org.uk
Shared Narrative Project – 4 Nations Event. November 2nd 6pm.
“Telling a new story about Europe: Connecting our stories across the UK: One message for all or one for each nation?”
• This event is co-sponsored by EM, Wales for Europe & EM in Scotland
Brexit has shaken the foundations of the United Kingdom. Constitutional issues are high on the agenda across the four nations. In the midst of all this, is there a story about a future relationship with the EU that could serve all the parts of the UK? Is a shared European narrative for the four nations of the United Kingdom possible, or have politics and public opinion shifted so much in the last five years that no single story can satisfy its parts? What impact might the prospect of changes in the constitutional arrangements of the UK have on our messaging about Europe? Could a pro-European narrative be constructed that appeals to all sides? And the most important questions for us: what does all this mean for those who believe in a closer relationship with Europe and the EU?
