Let’s make local and regional the centre of democratic reform: votes at 16, single transferable votes & digital voting at the hyperlocal level. Devolution must deliver democracy differently. Great to speak at #StrongerThings conf today in Guildhall, London.
The government has set out a clear plan for the ‘what’ of devolution.
Now it’s time to focus on the ‘how’.

🟡 Matthew Bennett (Inner Circle Consulting)
