• The Greatest Election in a Generation?

  Lecture

  4 Dec 2009 to 4 Dec 2009

  6 May 2010 is the current bet for the next general election. If this is the right wager it will be on the same day as the London borough elections - the first time this has happened since the GLC was created in 1963. London Communications Agency, a founding NLA partner and the leading PR firm handling London issues, is presenting their take on the possible changes at a breakfast briefing. Join us and Robert Gordon Clark, Chris Madel and Suzi Lawrence from LCA for some crystal ball gazing, political intrigue and debate.
