We are looking at the case for a constitutional convention, obviously in terms of the issue of what is going to happen before, during and after the referendum campaign. Today we are asking each of the parties and some expert witnesses for their opinions, comments and a general chat to try to understand these issues a bit more and whether there is in fact a feeling, among the political parties and others, that it would be useful to have a constitutional convention, and timings, content, before or after the referendum, who might be on it, what it might do and how it might work.

    The Next Generation: Parliamentary Candidates to Watch 2010 is going to mark a watershed in British politics. The General Election could see the greatest influx of new Members into the Chamber since the Second World War. The expenses scandal last year, for all its tabloid headlines, has forced the party leaders to re-examine their selection processes, and has resulted in local parties looking beyond the standard criteria for candidates. The result has been a wave of genuinely fascinating, intellectual and professionally astute candidates. Following on from the much acclaimed edition last year, Insight Public Affairs have continued to examine the next generation of MPs. In this – the second edition – we profile a further 32 candidates – most of whom have been selected in the recent months and witnessed heightened prominence in the parties and the media. As before, the so called ‘ones to watch’ have been selected for their ability, potential and ambition to become influential political players in British politics after the forthcoming election.
