This year’s UK general election saw a range of concerns about the quality of election discourse. Alongside evidence of many candidates facing abuse and intimidation, the campaign also saw the spread – particularly online – of misinformation and disinformation. Meanwhile, Labour and the Conservatives were accused of a ‘conspiracy of silence’ about the costing of party manifesto pledges, and voters faced difficulties knowing where to turn for trustworthy sources of information.

These challenges all threaten to undermine the UK’s democratic process. So how can they be tackled? This webinar will bring together experts from the Electoral Commission, Full Fact, and the Jo Cox Civility Commission to discuss options for practical solutions.

Speakers:

Michela Palese – Head of Policy, Electoral Commission
Chris Morris – CEO, Full Fact
Hannah Phillips – Manager, Jo Cox Civility Commission

Chair: Professor Alan Renwick – Deputy Director of the Constitution Unit
