In the run up to the elections in May  2016, and during the subsequent EU Referendum, British Government@LSE posted a series of articles by experts in the field to preview and analyse each of these critical contests.

The 2016 sub-national elections in Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, London and England were important both for how public services are administered, and as a reflection of the landscape of British Politics. The EU Referendum held in June 2016 marked a watershed moment, ushering in 'Brexit' as arguably the defining political issue in British politics today.

This series gives a snapshot of a unique moment in British politics.

The GV311: British Government course provides an introduction to contemporary British government, the institutions involved and processes of policy-making, with lectures given by expert speakers from within the LSE and outside. By the end of the course, students will have a practical understanding of the entire system of British government and the influences that affect it.

Throughout the 2013/14 and 2014/15 academic years the course lectures were filmed and are available to watch in full online
