Living Standards: the 2015 challenge with Danny Alexander MP

Living standards will be at the heart of the 2015 general election. This event launched new polling from the Resolution Foundation and YouGov which gives fresh insight into what voters think the Liberal Democrats can (and can’t) achieve on the economy and in relation to living standards at the 2015 election.

YouGov’s Joe Twyman presented the research. Danny Alexander MP (Chief Secretary to the Treasury), Gavin Kelly (Resolution Foundation) and Alexandra Jones (Centre for Cities) responded, providing insights into the potential policy responses the Liberal Democrats might choose to pursue. Sue Jameson(Daybreak) chaired the event.

This event is part of a Resolution Foundation series on living standards and the 2015 election. The project was launched in April 2013 and includes events at the Labour party conference with Rachel Reeves MP and at the Conservative party conference with Jesse Norman MP and Robert Halfon MP.
