The British political landscape has rarely been this unpredictable. Since 2010, we have seen a coalition government, five Prime Ministers, two referendums, two snap general elections, financial crises, Brexit and COVID-19. This module situates these contemporary debates and developments within a longer term and institutional perspective. Drawing on both quantitative and qualitative evidence, we examine key questions on the past, present and future of British politics.
The module is recommended for students specialising in politics and those on interdisciplinary pathways that include politics (there are no pre- or co-requisites required).
