Inside Briefing with the Institute for Government

Why Doesn't Westminster Work?


Listen Later

How does our system of government work? Why does it sometimes fail? And what can be done to fix it?

Join the IfG podcast team – and political commentator and author Ian Dunt – for a journey through the corridors of power to discover where Westminster goes wrong.

Are MPs doing the job their constituents need – and good government requires? Is No10 really the right building to house the centre of UK government? How much power does a prime minister actually wield? And has the relationship between civil servants and ministers ever been this bad?

All this and more on this week’s wide-ranging, thought-provoking and problem-solving Inside Briefing.

Hannah White presents.

With Alex Thomas and Cath Haddon
