John Bercow's Absolute Power explains the instruments of power in the UK, what the government is allowed to do and what it can't. Deborah Frances-White discusses with John Bercow how British democracy really works.
Bercow served as speaker of the House of Commons (2009 to 2019) and was a member of parliament (1997 to 2019). As a result, he knows more about how the British government works than the average citizen.
In this podcast, Deborah quizzes one of the longest-serving speakers, who shares his knowledge on tradition, legislation, convention, and the constitution. A necessary listening to understand the ins and outs of the institutions that rule public life.
