This module will help you understand contemporary politics and the most significant developments in British politics that have led to the current time. British politics is in the midst of a tempest not only from Covid 19 but Brexit — Britain’s withdrawal from the European Union and political conflict.  Across a range of social, economic and moral issues, many contemporary developments destabilise the constitutional order of the UK.
