A clear, accessible study of how Britain’s unwritten constitution actually operates and who holds power. The book explains the roles of Parliament and ministers, how prime ministers emerge, and which institutions enforce constitutional rules.

It untangles tensions between Westminster, devolved assemblies and European institutions, and shows how devolution and Brexit have intensified debates about codifying the constitution. Practical examples illuminate the routines and dilemmas of executive-legislative relations.

Ideal for students, policy professionals and engaged citizens seeking a concise, well-reasoned guide to contemporary constitutional challenges.
