Building Back a Better Democracy: The Case for Multiparty Democracy

Building Back a Better Democracy: The Case for Multiparty Democracy

March 4 @ 12:50 pm - 2:00 pm PST @ SLS: Room 280B

This event is open to the Stanford community.

Join the SLS Election Law Project for a lunch conversation with Lee Drutman, Senior Fellow at New America’s political reform program, to discuss the faults in America’s two-party system and his proposals for multiparty reform and proportional representation. Big ideas for the discussion include six new political parties, multi-member districts, fusion voting, ~160 new seats in the House of Representatives, and more.

In addition to his work with New America, Lee Drutman is co-founder of Fix Our House and the Center for Ballot Freedom, and a lecturer at the Johns Hopkins University Center for Advanced Governmental Studies. He is the author of Breaking the Two-Party Doom Loop: The Case for Multiparty Democracy in America (Oxford University Press, 2020) and The Business of America is Lobbying (Oxford University Press, 2015).

RSVP for lunch.
