1. Democracy in the UK

The Westminster model is a textbook ideal that promises stability, accountability and strong political leadership. But does that ideal still match reality? In this video Jocelyn explores the basic foundations of democracy in the UK, including the Westminster model, parliamentary government, the devolved assemblies, local government and the voting systems we use to elect our political representatives. Jocelyn considers how the development of new political forums and the emergence of new political parties has reshaped the political landscape, and what this may mean for the election in 2015.
