COULD IT HAPPEN HERE (HAUS CURIOSITIES) (PB)

Does the UK’s constitution sufficiently protect our democracy from a rogue prime minister? In light of the resurgence of the far Right across Europe and some of the rhetoric of the 2024 General Election, this book explores the possible consequences of a British prime minister refusing to leave office. Mapping out the processes which might occur after such an eventuality and the integrity of the system after years of stress, Hennessy and Blick analyse the UK’s ‘unwritten’ constitution and provide a crucial recommendation for protecting and strengthening the resilience of our parliamentary democracy.
