Episode 63: A State of Disrepair: Democracy in the United Kingdom
Manage episode 296773657 series 2464723
This week, we are going to the UK! The UK government’s handling of Brexit and the health crisis has been undeniably chaotic and venal. In a bid to distract the public and shore up its own power, the government has sought to exploit cultural issues to the detriment of democratic rights and norms, putting already vulnerable groups further at risk.
Green peer Natalie Bennett explains how this has led to an increasingly authoritarian turn against minority rights, civil liberties, and the rule of law.
