September 2020

Autumn is when political parties usually meet for their annual party conferences. Whilst conferences will be online this year, parties gather with Basic Income accelerating up the political agenda. Join a discussion irrespective of the party you support. UBI is good for all parties.

Here is how you can get involved.

Basic Income could become Liberal Democrat party policy as they will be voting on a motion in support of the idea. We are partnering with Lib Dems for Basic Income to host a 'virtual fringe event' asking 'is UBI the big Liberal idea?' on Monday 21st September 7-8pm.

Leader of the Welsh Liberal Democrats Jane Dodds will be hosting the discussion and she'll be joined by Sir Vince Cable and prominent economist Vicky Pryce.
