Mile End Institute (MEI) webinar: ‘Corruption and the British State’ - Thursday 12 November

Is the British state corrupt? The UK has traditionally scored well in global anti-corruption rankings, but concerns about corruption, cronyism and the conduct of elections have become increasingly prominent in public debate. In this webinar taking place next Thursday, 12 November, MEI will ask whether Britain’s electoral laws are fit for purpose, in an age of digital campaigning, mass data harvesting and potential foreign interference, whether well-funded lobby groups exert too much influence over the political process, and whether scandals over procurement and public contracting during the Covid emergency require new rules and forms of oversight. Register now.
