I teach and research politics at a university in the UK. I'm interested in electoral and party systems, and how judges decide.
The Constitution Unit held a fascinating expert panel last week that covered many of these changes. The panel included Alistair Clark, the co-editor of our journal, Parliamentary Affairs.
