Roundtable: Brexit and the crisis of democracy?
Location: Zeeman Building MS.03
Be it the ‘post-truth’ nature of referendum campaign, replete as it was with falsehoods and a propensity to a ‘politics of bullshit’ that showed little regard for truth or verifiable facts, or the post-referendum polarisation between Remainers and Leavers, social trust appears to be breaking down. This roundtable will explore the nature of these developments and consider the extent to which they represent a crisis for British democracy.
