British Future invite you to attend this post-election briefing event, as we reflect on the outcome of General Election and ask ‘what next?’ for our volatile politics.

British Future will give a short presentation on the new make-up of Parliament before we turn to our panel of thinktankers to hear their reflections and first thoughts, followed by, a short Q & A from the room.
We will also provide a private briefing note on the newest intake of MPs to all attendees.
