NEW YORK TIMES: Amid Parliament’s Brexit Rebellion, a Tectonic Shift in How Britain Is Governed

Press/Media: Expert comment

Description

Politics students in Britain are taught the phrase “elective dictatorship,” coined by a former lord chancellor, to describe the executive arm’s dominance over Parliament; that term may have to be retired.

“Constitutional scholars are going to be dining out on this for years,” said Rob Ford, a professor of politics at the University of Manchester. “There are going to be whole Ph.D.s written on January 2019.”
