This Contemporary British Politics short course provides you with an understanding of British politics and government, its key institutions and actors, and the main issues of controversy and contestation. We examine three principal areas: the context of contemporary British politics; the main institutions and processes of government and the state; and democratic participation and representation.

We plan to cover:

  • The Westminster model and British politics
  • The constitution and rules of the game: the constitution under pressure?
  • Voting, elections and referendums: why did Britain vote out?
  • House of Commons: rebellion and representation?
  • House of Lords: reform and representation?
  • Devolution in Britain: Northern Ireland
  • The core executive: prime ministers in power?
  • Local government: do mayors make a difference?
  • Representation in British politics
  • This course is ideal for those with an interest or background in British politics. No prior learning is required.

    This course is non-credit bearing, so carries no credit points.
