Have you an idea about reform of the Lords, Parliament or the EU which you'd like to pitch at a Dragon's Den event at conference?

I will be chairing an event at the party conference in Manchester which has been organised by Conservative Action for Electoral Reform and the think-tank, Respublica.

Loosely based on the TV programme of the same name, the Democracy Dragons' Den will see a variety of MPs, journalists and activists pitch ideas about how to revitalise democracy to a star-studded panel of dragons including Dan Hannan MEP and Eleanor Laing MP, shadow justice minister.

And ConservativeHome readers are invited to take part!

Here's the brief: if you have an idea about Reform of the Lords, Reform of the EU or Reform of Parliament, outline your ideas in no more than 400 words in an email to Janice Small. The best will be chosen to pitch to the dragons at the event in Manchester, which will take place between 12.30pm and 2pm on Wednesday 7th October in Exchange Room 2 of Manchester Central (the main conference venue). 

Please ensure that you have a conference pass for the secure area and are available for the event!
