Political Constitutionalism and Referendums: The Case of Brexit

Political Constitutionalism and Referendums: The Case of Brexit
EPISODE SUMMARY This week we ask: Can the Brexit referendum can be regarded as consistent with political constitutionalism? Or did it represented the sovereign will of the people? EPISODE NOTES This week we welcome Professor Richard Bellamy back to the podcast. Richard has appeared twice before on the following topics: ‘Does the UK Still Have a Political Constitution’ (May 2021) and ‘Checks and Balances in Democracy’ (Oct 2020) Richard is Professor of Political Science at UCL. He is a Fellow of the British Academy and, this academic year, is also Visiting Professor of Ethics and Public Policy at the Hertie School, Berlin. Richard recently released a new paper, ‘Political Constitutionalism and Referendums: The Case of Brexit’, published in Social & Legal Studies, and a paper entitled ‘Political constitutionalism and populism’ in the Journal of Law and Society.
