Modern Politics and Democracy | Guest talk by Rt. Hon John Bercow

Since the EU referendum in 2016 we have witnessed unforeseen schisms in political party lines, and dramatic movements and exchanges across the floor of the House of Commons. Deeply acquainted with the rhythms, logics and complexities of modern government, Mr Bercow has become renowned for transforming parliamentary culture and safeguarding the balance of political power. Presented by the University of Brighton Centre for Spatial Environmental and Cultural Politics (SECP), his talk chimes with SECP’s aims to reconsider the domain of the political, and to forge more democratic visions and collective responses for times of crisis.
Filmed at the Sallis Benney Theatre, Grand Parade, University of Brighton on 25 October 2019.
