Andy Street & Emma Best: Can the Conservatives still win under First Past the Post Voting?
Drinks Reception: With the UK's electoral landscape at its most fragmented in history, First Past the Post could produce dramatic and unpredictable results at the next general election. Would a divided right hand Labour another large majority, leave millions of centre-right voters without representation, or reward whichever party emerges strongest? And does the current system still offer Conservatives their best route back to government?

Andy Street and Ruth Davidson in Conversation
As Labour governs from the left, the centre ground that decides UK elections is opening up. Prosper UK's co-chairs, Andy Street and Ruth Davidson, sit down together to make the case that this is the opportunity for the Conservative Party to win it back, and how the party takes it. They discuss why they set up Prosper UK, what they are trying to build, and why the fastest route back to power runs through the centre.

Andy Street in conversation
Small businesses are the backbone of the UK economy, yet too many are held back by barriers that make it harder to grow than it should be. Andy Street sits down to talk about what it really takes to help SMEs prosper, from cutting the cost of doing business to easing regulation and opening up access to investment, and what a Conservative Party serious about enterprise should be offering them.

Can the Conservatives be the tactical choice for both left and right?
In today's multi-party Britain, seats are increasingly being decided on smaller margins, with more voters lending support tactically rather than backing their first-choice party. Could the Conservatives win that tactical vote from both flanks - those tempted by Reform, and those wanting to stop it? Using exclusive polling, we examine how big that opportunity is, the barriers in the way, and issues that could cut across the political spectrum.
