Lessons from engaging with political parties across the UK
By Tim Durrant
As an impartial think tank, the Institute for Government works with all parties across the UK, and at all levels of government (national, devolved in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, regional and local). Inevitably, however, our focus is mainly on the Conservative party, which is in government in London.
Our work focuses on how government does things, and how it can work better, rather than advocating particular policies. As such, we are keen to work with politicians of different ideologies and backgrounds.
Here I share some lessons from our work with parties across the UK.
