	"description": "Some of the most common criticisms of a basic income are that it is too expensive and that it’s not possible to win the public and political support for the policy. So Basic Income Conversation and our partners set out to verify that. The research presented at this event shows that an affordable basic income can have a dramatic impact on poverty *and* that a basic income is a vote winner, specifically in crucial swing seats. Join us at our seminar to hear about how a modest basic income can cut poverty by half and is a vote winner, especially in crucial &#x27;red wall&#x27; seats lost by Labour in 2019. The research presented at this event was funded by the Wellcome Trust as part of a wider project assessing the health case for basic income. The first report, now published by Basic Income Conversation and Compass, presents a fiscally-neutral model of basic income. It cuts child poverty to an historic low, below the low point achieved in the late 1970s. The second report examines public perception of basic income within the crucial ‘red wall’ seats lost by Labour to the Conservatives in the 2019 General Election. It finds a high level of support for basic income even from voters with conservative social values. The report presents the framings of basic income that elicit these high levels of support. Armed with models of basic income that reverse the poverty and inequality rises of the last 45 years and methods of effectively communicating the potential impact of a basic income to voters we can win the vote for a basic income. We look forward to seeing you there!",
