Your Weekly Constitutional

This week, we continue our discussion of Brexit – the proposed exit of Britain from the European Union – with Northumbria University law professor William Walton and his student, Melissa Davis, who just happens to also be a city councillor in Newcastle-upon-Tyne. We then broaden our discussion, both in terms of topics and participants, by inviting some of William’s other law students into the studio. These young Britons have much to say, not only about Brexit, but about the differences between British and American constitutionalism – think guns and law enforcement – as well as the similarities – think “devolution” of power to regions of Britain, as compared with “states’ rights” arguments in the United States. Join us for a variety of youthful perspectives and remarkable accents.
