Democracy in Action

Rethinking Representation

Available for over a year

The crisis around Brexit has revealed limitations in the relationship between representatives and represented. In these three programmes David Runciman explores that relationship -- between MPs and voters -- and looks for ways that democracies can take up the challenges of the present. In this programme David Runciman takes a closer look at the meeting point between MPs and voters. Featuring Chris Bryant, William Hague, Peter Macfadyen, Meg Russell, David Warburton and Daniel Zeichner. Producer: Martin Williams
