James Purnell MP, Director of the Open Left Project, Demos

Danny Finkelstein, Chief Leader Writer, The Times
Richard Reeves, Dircctor, Demos (Chair)

What makes a person powerful? How is power distributed, and who are the least and most powerful in the nation? As leaders lay claim to this agenda, Demos has investigated which people around the country have real power over their lives.  

The Power Gap uses new measures to map how power is distributed across constituencies in Britain today. The results are both startling and indispensable to anyone who believes in giving power back from government to people.

Please join us for sneak preview of the results before they are unveiled fully, and to debate their implications for the next election with two of the UK's leading thinkers. Come early to have a drink with us. 

RSVP to events@demos.co.uk or by calling 0207 367 6333. Please inform us of any access needs at this time.
